Carne Guisada (Puerto Rican Beef Stew) Ingredients: 1.5 lb chuck roast (cut into 1-2 inch cubes) Onion Carrot Potato Bay leaf Chicken or beef Boullion powder Adobo Dried Oregano Cilantro Sazon (badia) Tomato sauce Sofrito Garlic powder Onion powder 1 tsp garlic paste or 2 garlic cloves Cumin Achiote oil (optional) Salt and pepper Directions: Cut chuck roast into bite sized cubes. Clean, and season with 1 tsp Sazon, 1 tsp adobo, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic paste, 1/8 tsp cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp sofrito, pinch of salt and pepper. Marinate 30 minutes or overnight. Add 2 tbsp of achiote oil to a pot. On medium heat sear meat 5-8 minutes. Remove from pan. Add 2 tbsp sofrito, tomato sauce, 1/8 tsp cumin, and 1 tbsp Boullion powder. Cook 1-2 minutes until the tomato sauce turns a deeper red. Add meat back to the pot, then add 6 cups of water. You want the meat to be completely covered. Add 1 tsp Sazon, 1 tsp adobo, 1-2 bay leaves, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/8 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried oregano. Simmer on medium low or low heat for 1.5-2 hours. Add 1/2 white onion, 20 oz mini gold potato or 2 large potatoes peeled and cut. Then add peeled and cut carrots. Add small bunch of cilantro and simmer on medium low covered 15 minutes. Uncover, then simmer another 15 minutes. Taste to see if it needs more seasonings or a pinch of salt and pepper. Most of the seasonings listed contains salt so taste as you go. I served this with steamed rice, tomato avocado salad, and plantains. I have these recipes in other videos on my page. Along with the sofrito recipe. Fresh sofrito makes a huge difference with the flavor. It can be stored in your freezer for extended periods of time.
