Carne guisada is a mexican stew meat... It is one of my favorites when cooked properly. you can eat this in a tortilla or on a plate with rice and beans. its great with cheese and avacado slices as condiments.

Steps

---

Dredge stew meat in flour.

---

In a large stock pot brown the beef on medium high heat in 2 tbsp of olive oil.

---

Remove meat.

---

Add in 2 tbsp of olive oil and cook on medium heat.

---

Add in the onions until translucent.

---

Add the garlic and cook about 1 more minute.

---

Throw in the browned meat and add herbs , spices , water and canned tomatoes.

---

Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil.

---

And turn heat down to low and simmer for 5 hours.

---

I sometimes take a short cut and dredge and brown the meat in a skillet then throw everything in a crock pot and let simmer on low for 6-8 hours depending on how tender you like the meat.

---

You can also cut down on the water quite a bit when using the crock pot and add water as needed.
