Muy Bueno! Seasoned perfectly, this Carne guisada is very, very good. The combination of fresh vegetables and cumin is fabulous. Once cooked, the meat is tender with a sauce that gets thickened at the end. This stew is simple to prepare but does take time to cook down. Don't rush it... The key to this recipe is low and slow. Serve with Emma's Mexican Rice recipe for a comforting Mexican meal.
Note: Make sure to occasionally stir while this is simmering and check if more water is needed. After about 2 hours, we added 1/2 cup of water.
