Caribbean Beef Stew Carne Guisada Recipes

BEEF STEW CARIBBEAN STYLE (CARNE GUISADA)

Steps:

• The first step is to roughly chop the vegetables and set aside. Then, proceed to season the meat with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/3 teaspoon oregano, 1/3 teaspoon onion powder and 1 tablespoon salt, You can also add a tablespoon of my delicious and flavorful Sofrito (optional)
• In a non-stick pan, over a medium-high temperature pour some olive oil. Place the beef cubes in the pan and let them cook for about 3 minutes each side. If the meat gets stuck to the pan when you try to flip, it means is not ready. Just wait until it releases easily.
• After the meat has lightly browned, add olives, peppers, onion, Jalapeno, bay leaf and tomato sauce.
• Lower the temperature and add 2 cups of water and cover the pan. Continue cooking for about 40 minutes or until the meat is soft and tender.

CARNE GUISADA (MEXICAN BEEF STEW)

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.
• 11-26-13 ---Made this for Girl's Night In which was perfect for the chilli night we had here in Ohio. I served it with some Mexican rice, warmed tortillas and a non-alcoholic Sangria. We had a broccoli salad before and apple dumplings w/vanilla ice cream for dessert.
• 10/20/14 --- Cooked up my Carne Guisada in my Ninja as I had to get it done faster than I usually do with a 8 to 10 hr cook in the traditional crock-pot. I was able to cook it up in 4 1/2 hours. I served it with Mexican rice, cheesy dip & chips for dinner.
