Ingredients
- 900 g beef chuck or braising steak, 2 lbs
- 2 tbsp flour , all purpose / plain
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp cumin ground
- 1 tsp chili powder , mild
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced, large
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 green bell pepper , diced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tomato diced or 400g (14 oz) can crushed tomatoes, large
- ½ cup beef broth or use beef stock cube
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 oregano or 1 tsp dried, fresh, sprigs
- cilantro or coriander, to serve
Instructions
- Cut the beef into cubes and pat it dry. Mix together the flour, spices, sugar, salt and pepper and sprinkle half the mixture over the beef, tossing to coat.
- Heat the oil in a skillet or directly in your slow cooker if it has a browning function. Add the diced onion and remaining seasoning and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sauté fir a minute until it is fragrant. Add the seasoned beef and brown for a few minutes, until nicely colored on all sides.
- Transfer everything to your slow cooker if you have started the recipe in a separate pan. Add the diced pepper, tomato paste, diced tomatoes and stir well.
- Add the broth, bay leaf and oregano, cover and cook on LOW setting for 6-8 hours or the HIGH setting for 4-5 hours. Test the meat by piercing with a fork – it should be perfectly tender.
- Discard the bay leaf and taste the stew to check the seasoning. Garnish with chopped cilantro (coriander) and serve over rice with tortilla chips or use as a taco filling.

Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months. Add a little water to loosen the gravy when reheating.
- Mix things up – you can add cubed potatoes or other vegetables such as squash to make this stew stretch further.
- Carne guisada is rich but not particularly spicy. You can dial up the heat by adding more cayenne pepper and fresh chilies when serving.
