Carne Guisada Mexican Beef Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss meat pieces with flour, then brown quickly in oil in an ovenproof Dutch oven.
• Add onion, garlic, jalapeño, beef stock, tomato paste, cumin and chili powder; bring to a simmer on the stove.
• Cover Dutch oven and place in the preheated oven, baking for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours, until meat is extremely tender.
• Serve as is, or on rice, or folded into warm tortillas.

Steps:

• Brown beef well in a large cast iron dutch oven, a heavy stainless steel pot can be used with good results.
• Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent.
• Add stock, chili powder, comino, salt, and pepper.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 hours or until beef is very tender.
• In a separate skillet mix flour and oil together to form a roux.
• Cook over medium high heat until a dark beige color, about 5 minutes.
• Be careful not to let it burn.
• Carefully add roux to stewed beef.
• Be very careful because it can splatter.
• Bring back to a simmer and thicken, simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Serve like a soft taco on flour tortillas with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, shredded cheese and sour cream for garnish.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the beef sirloin in the Dutch oven and cook until the cubes are brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, red bell pepper, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and water.
• Continue cooking, stirring often, until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• - dissolve the beef bouillon cube (Maggi) in about 3 tbs of hot water.
• - dissolve the tomato paste in about 1/2 cup of hot water.
• - marinate the beef cubes for at least 3 hours in the following:.
• -- garlic, grated onion, oregano, cilantro, parsley, dissolved beef cube and tomato paste.
• - remove beef pieces, save marinade for later use.
• - heat oil to high temperature (around 425 degrees F) and brown beef cubes on all sides.
• - reduce oil temperature to medium and add the carrot, celery, bay leaf and green bell pepper and cook for about 3 minutes.
• - add the reserved marinade.
• - cover and simmer for 20 minutes.stir frequently.
• - Add the rest of the water and taste for salt and pepper and adjust if needed.
• - Continue to simmer for 30 minutes longer. (beef cubes should be very tender).
• - serve it hot with boiled white rice.

Steps:

• Gather your ingredients.
• Rinse off the beef cubes and pat dry. Place flour in a bag or bowl and coat the beef cubes. Next, heat your oil in a pan and brown the meat for about 5 minutes and then place in your crockpot.
• Next, saute your onions, garlic and bell peppers. Pour your bottle of beer over the meat in the crock pot and then add your sauteed vegetable. Next, add the rest of your ingredients. No need to cut up the chipotle or serranos as they break down while cooking. Cook this on low and slow for 8 to 10 hours. Serve in warm flour tortillas with shredded cheese and a small dollop of sour cream if desired or a squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro. (This is a thick stew, so if it's not thick enough add a mixture of flour and water.)
• SUPREME TACO: Alright, now if you really want this Carne Guisada to go along way you can make a Supreme Taco and the base starts with refried beans.
• SUPREME TACO: Heat the beans in a skillet until nice and hot. Then, spread the beans out on the flour tortilla.
• SUPREME TACO: Add your Carne Guisada on top of beans, maybe 4 pieces of meat and a generous amount of Mexican cheese blend. Next, add sour cream and some fresh chopped cilantro. Now, if you are going to make this for a larger crowd make up the tacos yourself and wrap then in a square piece of tinfoil. You can get a nice big box of already cut square tinfoil at Sam's Club. When you wrap them up the cheese is going to melt and they are just wonderful.
