Carne Guisada with Potatoes

This Carne guisada recipe was inspired by a spicy beef dish I had at a Mexican restaurant we went to for lunch last week, and I previously planned to post it on my other blog, but since it’s similar to our Filipino-style of cooking, I think you’ll love it!

Like the picadillo soup from a few days ago, the base for this ginisang baka is the holy trinity of Filipino flavors which are onions, garlic, and tomatoes. As it is, however, my take on a Mexican dish, this beef stew has bold, spicy flavors from the addition of jalapeno peppers.

How to Make Carne Guisada

Saute thinly-sliced beef in onions, garlic, and tomatoes until lightly browned. Add water or broth and cook the beef low and slow until fork-tender.

Add minced peppers for a kick of spice and cubed potatoes to deliciously extend servings. Continue to simmer until potatoes are done and sauce is nice and thick.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for color. Serve piping hot with steamed rice and enjoy a scrumptious meal!

Give this easy yet flavorful Mexican-style braised beef for dinner tonight. It’s delicious nashville filipino food served with rice but is just as amazing sandwiched between warm tortillas. Enjoy!
