I have always wanted to know the recipe for Carne Guisada! Oh, by the way, Guisada means Cooked in a pan.
I can not believe I found a recipe for Carne Guisada, I have been looking in all the wrong places I guess. Thanks
Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe. I fixed this for my family and they including my self loved it my Wife and I love Carne Guisada but we have never had it with actual chopped veggies and potatoes in it.most restaurants don`t prepare it that way. i encourage everyone to try this it is awsome.
I made this and it was GREAT!!
I tried this recipe last night for my husband who loves Carne Guisada, but is picky about where he orders it when we eat out. He was born/raised in Texas and orders it in certain Mexican restaurants here in the Houston area. He said mine was as GOOD as his favorite restaurant dish!!! I enjoyed it too, and would definately make it again. I served it with Goya Yellow Rice, Refried Beans, and tortillas.
I did make a few changes. I used beef stock instead of water (probably almost 3 cups total), red bell pepper instead of green (since I already had one at home), poblano instead of jalapeno (I charred the poblano over my gas flame to blacken the skin, then covered it with plastic wrap for about 20 min, removed the skin and used just the flesh). I added 3 cloves of fresh chopped garlic instead of garlic powder, and I used more cumin (about 1 Tblsp) than called for and also added a little cayenne pepper (about 1/8 tsp). I made a slurry of beef stock (about 1/4 cup and flour about 3-4 Tblsp) and added that to my meat/veg mix. I let it cook about 2+ hours since I used a cheaper cut of meat (sirloin tip roast). I did have to add a little more beef stock as it cooked down, but my gravy was thick and rich. Overall a winner, and the base recipe was a good place to start.
“Guisada” means stewed, not gravy nor cooked in a pan. So “carne guisada” means stewed beef.
I’ve never heard of carne guisada with veggies!!I tried making carne guisada b4 but it looked weird!! I’m trying this one 2nite!! (see how it goes!!)
It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
