SOUTH TEXAS CARNE GUISADA
In this recipe, chunks of lean beef are simmered with fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and Mexican seasonings to make a rich spicy gravy (guisada). Serve with warm tortillas and garnish with guacamole, sour cream, and/or cheddar cheese for awesome guisada tacos. If your gravy is too thin, whisk a 1/2 cup of the gravy with 1 tablespoon of flour and stir it back into the meat mixture; cook until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

CARNE GUISADA
While living away from Texas for a while, my boyfriend and I grew homesick for the spicy flavors of home. We've made this recipe a few times now, and it goes really well with homemade flour tortillas. We love it over rice, too. -Kelly Evans, Denton, Texas

CARNE GUISADA (STEWED BEEF)
Among the most recognizable dishes of my culture, carne guisada will cure what ails you. Beef is slowly braised with aromatic sofrito and tomatoes, producing a rich, delicious dish you're likely to eat too much of. For those who have lived in Puerto Rican enclaves such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago or Orlando, Fla., this is a daily staple at cafeteria-style lunch counters, as it is on the island. You can also use this recipe to make pollo guisado, equally popular and common, simply by using chicken and adjusting the cooking time accordingly.

Steps:
- Prepare the adobo: Combine the adobo ingredients in a small bowl, or blend in a large pilón or mortar and pestle.
- Prepare the guisado: Pat meat dry and put in a medium lidded bowl or a resealable bag. Evenly coat with the adobo and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator overnight.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large lidded, heavy-bottomed pot over high. Working in batches as needed to prevent crowding, add beef, shaking loose any additional adobo beforehand. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping often to brown evenly. Transfer meat to a clean bowl and set aside.
- Lower heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and pour in sofrito, adding olive oil as needed if the pan is too dry. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until liquid has evaporated.
- Add sazón and sauté for 1 minute. Add the broth (or water), tomatoes and their juices, and bay leaves, and scrape up any browned bits using a wooden spoon.
- Nestle meat into sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, then cover with a lid and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add carrot and celery, and cook, covered, for 1 more hour, adding more water or broth if needed. At this stage, check the tenderness of the meat. It should start to get close to falling apart when pressed with the back of a spoon.
- Add potatoes and cook, covered, for 30 minutes more, until meat and potatoes are cooked through and tender.
- Adjust salt to taste, and serve on a plate or in a shallow bowl over a mound of white rice.

Tips:
- Tenderize the Beef: Using a meat mallet or tenderizing tool can help break down the fibers and make the meat more tender. Marinating the beef in a flavorful liquid, such as a mixture of lime juice, garlic, and cumin, can also help tenderize it.
- Brown the Beef Well: Browning the beef in hot oil or butter adds flavor and color to the dish. Make sure to sear the meat on all sides until it's browned before adding the other ingredients.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Carne guisada is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, bell peppers, or zucchini.
- Simmer Low and Slow: The longer you simmer the carne guisada, the more tender the beef will become. Aim to simmer the dish for at least 1-2 hours, or until the beef is fall-apart tender.
- Season to Taste: Carne guisada should have a well-balanced flavor profile, with a combination of savory, sweet, and tangy notes. Taste the dish throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Carne guisada is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas. It's a great way to use up leftover beef and vegetables, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give carne guisada a try.
