AUTHENTIC CARNE GUISADA

Steps:

• Brown beef well in a large cast iron dutch oven, a heavy stainless steel pot can be used with good results.
• Add onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent.
• Add stock, chili powder, comino, salt, and pepper.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 hours or until beef is very tender.
• In a separate skillet mix flour and oil together to form a roux.
• Cook over medium high heat until a dark beige color, about 5 minutes.
• Be careful not to let it burn.
• Carefully add roux to stewed beef.
• Be very careful because it can splatter.
• Bring back to a simmer and thicken, simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Serve like a soft taco on flour tortillas with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, shredded cheese and sour cream for garnish.
