Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck into 1.5-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the beef cubes with kosher salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
Dice the onion and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic.
In the same skillet, add the onion, green bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 additional minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to the slow cooker with the beef.
Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, beef broth, tomato paste, cumin, chili powder, and paprika to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the finished carne guisada before serving.
Serve warm with rice, tortillas, or your choice of sides.
