This version is much closer to a local restaurants that we love

jedswife · 10-16-2007, 10:14 AM

ohhhhh! i gotta try that and soon.

i love carne guisada!

thanks dottie!

Charski · 10-16-2007, 10:22 AM

MMMM! I'm thinkin' PRESSURE COOKER for this one, and soon!

Dottie · 10-16-2007, 10:41 AM

Maybe crockpot, but get through the browning first and deglaze the pot with the broth before tossing it in the cooker

Silver Spice · 10-16-2007, 10:55 AM

Is there a difference between guisada and asada?

Dottie · 10-16-2007, 11:44 AM

guisada = stew; asada = steak

LindaSue · 10-16-2007, 03:15 PM

How do you serve yours, Dottie? I'm thinking that this would make a great "Burrito Bol" like they have at Chipotle. I'd probably pile it on some chopped lettuce and top with some cheese, sautéed peppers and onions and sour cream. Maybe some guacamole too. Am I missing anything?

Tweaker Geek · 10-16-2007, 05:54 PM

Boy, that sounds good Dottie! I've copied it to try soon.

Crink · 10-18-2007, 10:28 AM

This is pretty much like Carnitas meat only with beef....Yum!!! I love Mexican food!

jedswife · 10-18-2007, 11:11 AM

ooooooooooo Dottie!

i made this last night and it was fantastic!!!!!!!!! i mean fantastic - my dh was even eating my son's leftovers right off of his plate and he has never done that.

thanks much!

Dottie · 10-18-2007, 12:04 PM

Linda: If you cook it down enough it's good in lettuce wraps (guacamole and sour cream on top).

Jedswife glad you liked it

Heat up the leftovers and scramble some eggs into it

Silver Spice · 10-19-2007, 05:13 PM

Thanks Dottie!

I'd love to try the "stew" !

LindaSue · 12-01-2007, 10:41 AM

I finally had a chance to try the recipe and it's delicious. I drained off most of the liquid, shredded the beef, added a little xanthan gum then added back about a cup of the juices so that the meat would be moist but not soupy. My husband had his on tortillas and I just put some on a plate and topped it with guacamole and sour cream. I didn't have any lettuce or peppers plus I figured there were plenty of veggies cooked with the meat. Here's my photo:

I kept all of the seasonings the same but I used some canned poblano chiles instead of the regular green chiles. I also browned the onions along with the meat and added 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke. I couldn't taste the smoke so I'll just leave that out next time. Oh, I put in three big jalapeños but they must have been "duds" because it didn't come out hot at all.

jigglenomore · 12-01-2007, 12:10 PM

Looks wonderful! After browning, how long do you think it will take in the crockpot?

I think I'd do it at least 6-8 hours and I don't think that doing it longer would hurt if you're going to shred it.

Barbo · 12-01-2007, 07:25 PM

Your picture was worth a thousand words.

How delicious looking.

Now what method did you use after browning? Crock pot, pressure cooker
or as written by Dottie?

This is something that my husband would really love.

Awaiting your reply,

I simmered it on the stove like Dottie did. I figured that I had already dirtied the pot, why should I also have to clean my crockpot???

LindaSue · 12-02-2007, 07:19 AM

I guess I should post the link to the recipe on my site so you can see exactly what I did: Dottie's Carne Guisada
