carne guisada

From time to time I receive e-mails asking some common questions for an&nbsp;Authentic Carne Asada recipe, the first one being how to marinate the meat. I always give out the same answer: every cook or grill master has their own unique way of seasoning their meat. I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe.

CARNE ASADA RECIPE

flank steak

orange

limes

light beer

Kikkoman Soy Sauce

vegetable oil

pepper

onion

Vegetable oil

Corn tortillas

Guacamole

Salsa

Lime wedges

green onions and nopales

Place the flank steak in a large baking dish and, if using the sliced onion, spread the slices over the meat.

In a medium-sized bowl mix together the orange juice, lime juice, light beer, Kikkoman soy sauce, vegetable oil, and freshly ground black pepper.

Pour the marinade over the meat; cover with a plastic film and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Light up your charcoal grill, or preheat your gas grill. (You can also use a cast iron grill pan, the ones you use over the stove top). And brush your grill with a little vegetable oil as this will prevent the meat from sticking.

Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Place meat on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes per side. (Cooking time will depend on the meat thickness and your personal preferences, either medium or well done). Remove meat from grill and place it on your cutting board. Slice it and serve it with corn tortillas and other garnishes mentioned above.

If you would like to have the same effect as that of the Mexican-American restaurant, place the cooked meat on a preheated cast iron pan, add a few drops of  Soy Sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Carne Guisada

olive oil (or vegetable oil)

onion (or 2 small ones, chopped)

green bell pepper (chopped)

roma tomatoes (diced)

black pepper

cumin (ground)

chili powder

tomato paste

beef bouillon

all-purpose flour (or more for thicker gravy)

beef broth (low sodium)

cilantro

Sear the beef.

Sear the beef. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside. You might have to do this in batches, you don&#39;t want to overcrowd the meat in the pan. If doing in batches, only add 1 tablespoon of oil at a time.

Cook the veggies.

Cook the veggies. Drizzle the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion, bell pepper and cook for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until aromatic. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for another minute.

Add the spices.

Add the spices. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. Stir well. Add the tomato paste and crumble up the beef bouillon, stir, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Start the gravy.

Start the gravy. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and stir well while cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Add a cup of the beef broth and stir everything together. The mixture should start to thicken from the flour.

Add the beef and cook.

Add the beef and cook. Add the beef back to the skillet then another 2 cups of beef broth, stir until combined. Cover and cook for 1 and a half hours or more until the meat falls apart, over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add more beef broth if gravy is too thick.

Garnish and serve.

Garnish and serve. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with cilantro and serve alongside with rice and tortillas.

Carne Guisada Recipe

canola oil

garlic (minced garlic

green bell pepper (diced)

tomatoes tomato sauce)

tsp dried oregano (optional)

jalapeño pepper (minced, optional)

black pepper (to taste)

chicken broth (or water)

tbsp all-purpose flour (optional)

Pat dry the cubed beef to remove excess moisture.

Place a large cast iron pan or Dutch oven on medium-high heat. When hot, add the canola oil and cubed beef without crowding the pan (see note).

Sauté the beef for 5 minutes, turning every few minutes until brown on all sides. Repeat with remaining beef if batches are necessary.

Reduce heat to medium and add the onion, garlic and green pepper to the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, cumin, optional oregano, optional jalapeño, salt, pepper and broth. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and cover the pan. (You can also transfer to a crock pot at this point if you prefer - see note.)

Simmer for 60-90 minutes or until the beef is tender. Add extra broth halfway if needed to prevent sticking.

If the sauce looks runny, sprinkle in the optional flour and boil for several minutes to thicken up a gravy, stirring regularly to dissolve any lumps.

Serve with rice, potatoes or tortillas.

A deeply flavored braise that’s a staple in Texas & Mexico.

Chuck roast, 900 g

Beef cheeks, 900 g

Salt, ~15 g

Neutral oil, a drizzle

Onions, 1/2

Green Bell Peppers, 1

Poblano peppers, 1-2

Cumin, a spoonful

Chili Powder, a spoonful

Smoked Paprika, a spoonful

Fresh oregano, 1/2 spoonful

Leaves, 1

Beef broth, Enough to submerge meat

Diced tomatoes, 1 small can

Cornstarch slurry, as needed

Mexican rice,

Refried black beans,

Flour tortillas,

Queso Fresco,

Avocados,

Sweat the aromatic base

Add just enough oil to the coat the bottom of a heavy bottom pot or braising vessel (like a Dutch oven). Saute the onion & peppers until translucent and softened. Add the spices to bloom until fragrant. Remove the aromatic base from the pot and set aside.

While this is going, preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C.

Brown the beef

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cubed, prepped meat (if using beef cheeks or tough cuts, remove excess fat or large connective tissue chunks). Sprinkle with salt to season evenly.

Sear the meat cubes until you get some browning (if you want deeper browning, you can do this in small batches to better sear each piece. Takes longer, but builds deeper flavor).

Add the braising liquid

Return the sauteed aromatic base back to the pot. Add the diced tomatoes and then add just enough beef stock (or water) to barely submerge the meat. Add the bay leaf.

Braise until tender

Cover and slide into the preheated 300°F/150°C oven to braise. 

After one hour of cooking, remove the lid to encourage browning and evaporation. Braise for 2-3 more hours or until the meat is completely tender and the cooking liquid has reduced.

Thicken, finish, & serve

Return the finished braise back to the stovetop. If the liquid hasn’t thickened into a saucy gravy, bring the pot back to a simmer, and then add a splash of cornstarch slurry until it reaches your desired texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve with your choice of rice and beans, tortillas, queso fresco, & avocado. Leftovers make amazing quesadillas and tortas.
