What is Carne Guisada

If you’ve never had Carne Guisada think of it as a Tex-Mex or Mexican stew. It’s savory with a bit of spice. Cumin, chili powder, and jalapenos give it the spicy kick that sets it apart from other stews.

And you won’t need to make gravy for this Carne Guisada recipe because it makes its own thick gravy (guisada). If you were to make Carne Asada, you would just make it without the gravy.

What Meat is Used for Carne Guisada

Whether you are making Carne Guisada (with gravy) or Carne Asada (without gravy) you would use stew meat which is any kind of beef chuck roast or beef round roast. It’s best to buy beef stew meat that is already cut up into bite-sized pieces.

Beef is the most common meat to make Carne Guisada but some substitute beef with pork or even chicken.

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you need:

• Chuck Roast
• Salt & Pepper
• Vegetable Oil
• White Onion
• Bell Pepper
• Jalapeno Pepper
• Garlic

How to Make Crock-Pot Carne Guisada

Because you are making this recipe in a crock-pot, the flavors have plenty of time to come together and make the perfect stew that is hard to beat on a cold day. Here are the recipe steps:

1. Cut the meat into bite-sized pieces.

1. In a large pan, brown the meat in the cooking oil until all sides are browned. Place the meat in your slow cooker.
2. Using the same pan you browned the meat, saute the onion, pepper, jalapeno pepper, tomatoes, and garlic until the onions are translucent.
3. Season with the spices and flour and mix until combined.
4. Add the chicken broth and stir to combine.  Transfer this mixture to the crock-pot with the meat.
5. Cook on high for 4 and a half hours.
6. Add the potatoes and carrots and cook for an additional 1 1/2 hours.

Recipe Notes

• It may be cheaper to buy the whole roast and cut it up yourself. That way you can also trim it the way you desire.
• This slow-cooker carne guisada recipe requires about 30 minutes of active cooking and then 6 hours in your crockpot.
• Serve with Mexican Rice, refried beans, and corn or flour tortillas.
• Store Carne Guisada in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. It tastes better the next day!
