GUISADO DE BISTEC CON PAPAS

Steps:

• Soak the dried Ancho chilies in boiling water; let cool. Remove stems and seeds from chilies; discard.
• Puree the chilies, the water they were soaked in, the onion and the chicken bouillon in blender until smooth.
• In large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Saute steak until cooked through.
• Stir in potatoes, chile puree and an additional 1 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper. Bring guisado to a boil.
• Taste sauce; season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until very little liquid remains.

GUISADO DE CHORIZO Y PAPAS

Steps:

• Briefly sauté the onions and mushrooms in olive oil.
• Add the garlic, potatoes and chorizo and sauté until the potatoes are browned slightly but not so much that the garlic starts to burn.
• Add the paprika, chicken broth, black pepper, and bay leaves.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the potatoes are soft, between 20-30 minutes.
• Add more chicken stock if necessary.
• About five minutes before the stew is done, you may want to skim off some of the fat that will have risen to the top as the chiorzo cooked.
• When you are done, stir in the basil.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, if the stew is too thin just make a paste of cornstarch and water and stir rapidly into the stew.
• It will thicken up after just a couple minutes over the heat.
• Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
