CARNE GUISADA
(Meat With Gravy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 1/2 lb. round or sirloin
steak, cut in small cubes
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
2 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. cumin powder
1/2 tsp. Mexican oregano
1/2 bell pepper, cut in strips
1 whole onion, diced
1/2 c. canned tomatoes, mashed (or 1 can Rotel tomatoes)
with juice
2 1/2 c. water
Season meat with salt and pepper. Brown well in hot oil
over medium heat in heavy skillet, stirring constantly (about 5
to 7 minutes). Add flour, brown 2 minutes longer. Add remain-
ing ingredients. Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and cook
18 to 20 minutes, stir occasionally. Serve over rice.
I like to use the ro-tel mexican festival tomatoes, about 1 table spoon of Chile powder, fresh garlic and lots of onion. Forgot to add that pork, chicken and Shrimp work good with this dish also.
