Cuban Beef Stew image

The traditional dish uses a good amount of olive oil and meat with a lot of marbling. This version is lower in fat, but is true to the spirit of the recipe. Although it does take a fair amount of time, it is not difficult to make.

Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 ½ pounds sirloin tips, cubed
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup dry sherry
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
¼ cup pimento-stuffed green olives
¼ cup raisins
2 tablespoons capers
4 potatoes, peeled and quartered
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring frequently, until transparent. Stir in cubed meat, and cook until browned. Stir in red bell pepper, bay leaf, cumin, and oregano; cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Stir in sherry, tomato sauce, vinegar, olives, raisins, and capers. Pour in enough water to just cover meat. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer until fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add more water if the stew becomes too thick.
  • Stir potatoes into the stew. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, covered, until potatoes are almost tender. Uncover, and cook until done.

This stew was a lot of work, but it was worth it. The flavors were incredible, and the beef was fall-apart tender. I will definitely be making this again for special occasions.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some additional spices, and it turned out much better.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt, or omitting it altogether.

I love the combination of flavors in this stew. The beef, tomatoes, and potatoes all come together perfectly. I also added a bit of red wine, which gave it a nice depth of flavor.

This stew was easy to make and packed with flavor. I used flank steak, and it turned out perfectly tender. I served it over rice, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The beef is always fall-apart tender, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I love serving this stew over rice, with a side of plantains.
