Best Carne Guisada Step by Step // Tex-Mex Beef Stew ❤️

Carne Guisada is a beloved dish in my home, and it holds a special place in South Texas cuisine. This Mexican-style beef stew takes me back to my childhood, when my mama would make it frequently. I prefer using chuck roast, as these slow-cooked chunks of beef become incredibly tender in a rich, flavorful gravy. My mama always ground her spices using a molcajete, and I follow her tradition. The blend of whole cumin, garlic, and peppercorn adds an extra layer of flavor. I always emphasize that great carne guisada begins with proper searing, toasting the flour and spices, and finishing with slow cooking to enhance the flavor. And let's not forget – love is an essential ingredient too! ❤️

Great videography happening today. This reminds me of my childhood. My Dad built a very simple gazebo in the back yard with a big flat top grill. I loved when he would proclaim “Breakfast Outside tomorrow morning”. Some of my best memories ever.

My husband watched this video with me and then begged me to make it....and even put on his puppy dog eyes. Guess I will do it, still a sucker for those eyes. ♥
