Carne guisada
Carne guisada is a hearty, flavorful stewed beef dish that is popular in Tex-Mex cuisine. The dish is made by slow-cooking beef in a flavorful gravy made with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and spices. Carne guisada is typically served over rice or tortillas and is often accompanied by beans and cheese.
The origins of carne guisada are unclear, but the dish is thought to have originated in Mexico or the American Southwest. The first recorded recipe for carne guisada appeared in a cookbook published in San Antonio, Texas in 1883. The dish became popular in the United States during the early 20th century as Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine began to gain popularity.
Carne guisada recipes vary widely, but the dish typically contains beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and chili peppers. Additional ingredients may include cumin, paprika, oregano, and flour or cornmeal to thicken the gravy. Carne guisada is typically a fairly spicy dish, but the level of heat can be adjusted to taste.
Advice
When making carne guisada, it is important to use a cut of beef that is full of flavor and holds up well to long cooking, such as chuck roast. Additionally, be sure to brown the meat before adding it to the stew to give it a nice sear and bring out the flavors. To enhance the flavor of the stew, use beef broth or stock, fresh herbs and spices, and a variety of vegetables. Lastly, be sure to simmer the stew until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
