BEEF STEW CARIBBEAN STYLE (CARNE GUISADA)

Steps:

• The first step is to roughly chop the vegetables and set aside. Then, proceed to season the meat with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/3 teaspoon oregano, 1/3 teaspoon onion powder and 1 tablespoon salt, You can also add a tablespoon of my delicious and flavorful Sofrito (optional)
• In a non-stick pan, over a medium-high temperature pour some olive oil. Place the beef cubes in the pan and let them cook for about 3 minutes each side. If the meat gets stuck to the pan when you try to flip, it means is not ready. Just wait until it releases easily.
• After the meat has lightly browned, add olives, peppers, onion, Jalapeno, bay leaf and tomato sauce.
• Lower the temperature and add 2 cups of water and cover the pan. Continue cooking for about 40 minutes or until the meat is soft and tender.

Steps:

• Combine sliced and peppers in a bowl. Add vinegar. Set aside

• Once sugar has caramelize, carefully add the meat. Brown meat on all sides. Over time, the meat will begin to release its own juices. Afterwards, add water and add enough water so that covers the meat completely. Place lit on pot with a small opening for steam and pressure to release. Stew for about 25-30 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on pot. If water dries up before meat has had a chance to tenderize, add more water.
• After 25-30 mins, check meat for tenderness. If meat is still tough, add more water stew some more. If it has reached softness and tenderness that you like, add tomato paste. Be sure to work in the tomato paste into the sauce. *Note: you want to make sure that you have enough sauce, almost like a gravy or au jus. Don't let sauce dry up too much. If it's dried up too much, simply add more water
• In the end, add sliced onions and peppers that have been sitting 1 tsp of white vinegar along with olives (optional). Mix until well combined with meat and turn off flame. Cover with lid for 5 minutes and steam will soften onions and peppers

Steps:

• Prepare the adobo: Combine the adobo ingredients in a small bowl, or blend in a large pilón or mortar and pestle.
• Prepare the guisado: Pat meat dry and put in a medium lidded bowl or a resealable bag. Evenly coat with the adobo and let marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or in the refrigerator overnight.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large lidded, heavy-bottomed pot over high. Working in batches as needed to prevent crowding, add beef, shaking loose any additional adobo beforehand. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, flipping often to brown evenly. Transfer meat to a clean bowl and set aside.
• Lower heat to medium, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and pour in sofrito, adding olive oil as needed if the pan is too dry. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until liquid has evaporated.
• Add sazón and sauté for 1 minute. Add the broth (or water), tomatoes and their juices, and bay leaves, and scrape up any browned bits using a wooden spoon.
• Nestle meat into sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, then cover with a lid and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Add carrot and celery, and cook, covered, for 1 more hour, adding more water or broth if needed. At this stage, check the tenderness of the meat. It should start to get close to falling apart when pressed with the back of a spoon.
• Add potatoes and cook, covered, for 30 minutes more, until meat and potatoes are cooked through and tender.
• Adjust salt to taste, and serve on a plate or in a shallow bowl over a mound of white rice.
