Carne Guisada - My Way

Prep Time: The only prepping that you really need to do is peeling and cutting the potatoes but that can be done while the stew beef is cooking.

Cook Time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Servings: 8-10 (Depending on portion size - my 2 teenage sons had large portions and there was still enough for 6 of us. If they had smaller portions, this could feed 10 easily.

Ingredients:

2 pounds of stew beef                      1 - 8 ounce can of tomato sauce
1/4 cup of Goya Sofrito Sauce    1 packet of Goya Sazon
1 tbsp. of Goya Adobo 1/2 tsp. Dried Oregeno
salt to taste 3 cups of potatoes
2 cups of baby carrots    2 cups of green beans or peas
3 tbsp. of corn starch 1 cup of water

Carne Guisada Directions:

1.) In a large pot, combine tomato sauce, sofrito sauce, sazon, adobo, oregeno and salt. Simmer for 5 minutes on medium-low heat. Add stew beef and cook until evenly browned. Next, add enough water to cover the stew beef, cover and simmer on medium-low heat for 1 hour.

2.) Add peeled and cubed potatoes, baby carrots and green beans or peas. Cover again and simmer for another 30 minutes.

3.) Mix 3 tbsp. of corn starch with 1 cup of cold water. Stir until mixed evenly. Slowly add the mixture to your stew and stir while simmering on low heat just until thickened. (This won't take long.)

Tips: Serve with dinner rolls, white rice, a nice salad, etc. I like to cook white rice while this is cooking. I cook 2 cups of medium-grained white rice while the stew is cooking towards the end of cooking time that way the rice is finished when the stew is finished. Then I put a little rice on each plate and top it with the stew. I also do this with chili. :) It's very good and filling. This is a very simple, quick and healthy dinner.
