| Carne Guisada VII ~ There are many variations to this favorite dish. Carne Guisada ..is a well known dish in many Latin American countries. Carne Guisada - Meat stew Beef When time permits, I prefer to make this variation of Carne Guisada. The pimento-stuffed olives give it that little extra. 3 1/2 lbs lean beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes 2 cloves garlic (large cloves) 2 medium onions, sliced 2 cups beef broth 2 cups red wine (dry) 4 tomatoes. peeled and quartered 1 bay leaf 1/2 tsp comino (cumin) 1 tsp salt 1/8 tsp black pepper (freshly ground) 2 tbls olive oil (you may substitute with vegetable oil) 1/2 tsp thyme leaves 2 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled, quartered 2 tbls flour 4 tbls water 1. Heat the oil in a large pot. Add meat, a few pieces at a time, brown well. Remove meat and season with salt and pepper. If oil (drippings) have gotten to brown, discard and replace with 2 more tablespoons of olive oil (veg oil). 2. Add onions and cook until tender and lightly browned. Add the garlic, broth, wine, one tomato, and herbs tied in a cheesecloth bag. (herbs: thyme, bay leaf) Add the meat and bring to a boil. 3. Cover and reduce to a low simmer for 2 hours, or until meat is tender. 4. Add potatoes and olives and continue to simmer for 30 minutes. 5. Place meat and vegetables in a serving dish, set aside (keep warm). Pour remaining liquid into a sauce pan. (you may skim off the fat at this point, or leave it in ( your choice )). Blend flour into liquid, stir until it thickens. Add remaining tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour sauce over meat and vegetables. Serve with warm flour tortillas |
