Carne Guisada

By oldbklady

Ingredients

• 1 About 1 lb cubed beef meat
• 1 lg green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1 lg tomato, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped garlic
• 2 tsp cumin
• Black pepper
• 1 oz water
• 1 qt beef broth
• 1/2 c. blonde roux, made from 1/2 c. flour and 1/2 c. fat
• Salt

Preparation

Step 1

Season meat with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan over medium heat add the cubed meat and cook until browned. Add to crock pot with the chopped bell pepper, onion, tomato, garlic, cumin, black pepper and 1-ounce water and stir to combine. Add enough beef broth to barely cover meat. Use water if more liquid is needed. Cook on Low until the beef is tender, 6 to 8 hours. Half way through cooking add the roux.

Season with salt, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter.

Carne guisada is a hearty Mexican-style beef stew. It is excellent with tortillas or cornbread, and is also great as a burrito filling.
