Carne Guisada is a traditional Mexican beef stew kicked up with cumin, chili powder, jalapeño, and potatoes. Carne Guisada, which translates to “stewed meat,” is a slow-simmered mouth-watering dish.
Every Mexican household has a version of this recipe, some made with pork or chicken, but I love my Mom's version, accompanied by rice and beans, simple but delicious. This recipe whips up pretty quickly once stew meat is cooked, adding the remaining ingredients will have your meal ready in less than 30 minutes.
In this recipe, chunks of lean beef are simmered with fresh tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and Mexican seasonings to make rich spicy gravy.
Add tomatoes to the meat and onion mixture, and cook for 5 minutes. Then, mash tomatoes in the skillet, this will help create a gravy.
