Puerto Rican Beef Carne Guisada
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed
  • 1/2 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 3 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup red cooking wine
  • 8 Manzanilla olives
  • 2 tablespoons sofrito
  • 1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning with achiote (such as Goya®)
  • 1/2 tablespoon adobo seasoning
  • 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
1
Combine dry ingredients, including flour, salt, and pepper, in a sealed container; add beef and mix until coated. Seal the container again and shake vigorously to distribute the seasoning evenly.
2
Heat a sufficient amount of olive oil to cover the surface of a large skillet over medium-low heat. Introduce sugar into the skillet and cook until it reaches a golden hue, approximately 5 minutes. Add the coated beef to the skillet and cook until it is evenly browned on all sides, taking around 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked beef to a slow cooker.
3
Combine the vegetables, water, tomato sauce, wine, olives, sofrito, sazón, adobo seasoning, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce in the slow cooker.
4
Cook the dish on Low for 8 to 10 hours or High for 4 to 6 hours, until the meat is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender.
