Recipe Introduction


Carne Guisada is best described as a kind of Mexican stew that varies both in
ingredients and in cooking methods, often depending upon region. This version
relies upon slow oven roasting to produce a fall-apart-tender result.


List of Ingredients




2 lbs. Chuck roast, trimmed and cut in bitesize pieces
4 T Flour
2 T Canola oil
1 Large onion, chopped
1 C Chopped celery
3 or 4 Jalapeños, stems and seeds removed, chopped
2-½ C Beef stock
2 T Tomato paste
½ t Ground cumin
2 t Chili powder

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the meat cubes in a paper or plastic bag.
Sprinkle the flour over them, close the bag and shake to coat the meat
lightly and evenly. In a Dutch oven or heavy skillet, heat the oil over high
heat. Add the meat and brown quickly. Add the remaining ingredients and bring
to a simmer. Remove from heat. Cover the Dutch oven or skillet and place in
the oven. Roast for 2 hours.

Makes 6 servings

Notes:
If you find the amount of jalapeños alarming, don't worry. The long, slow
roasting process will mellow them quite a bit. Ancho chiles may be
substituted for jalapeños.
