Carbonada Criolla - Argentina Meat, Veg, Fruit Stew image

Beef is the national dish of Argentina. There are huge cattle ranches in Argentina, and the gaucho, or Argentine cowboy, is a well-known symbol of Argentine individualism. Many dishes contain meat, but prepared in different ways. Carbonada is a stew that contains meat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and chunks of corn on the cob, plus fruit. From FoodinArgentina.com.

The Carbonada Criolla is a great make-ahead meal. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for a quick and easy dinner.
