Shanna's Carne Guzado
1 lb stew meat
2 tbsp cooking oil
10 1/2 oz beef broth bouillon
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
2 small chiles serrano, chopped
3/4 cup water
Brown meat in oil until brown on all sides. Pour off grease. Add
beef broth, salt and pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, chile peppers,
and water. Bring to boil and then turn very low, cover, and simmer about one and
one-half hours, or until
meat is tender.
Dissolve about one teaspoon cornstarch in small amount of cold water
and slowly pour into stew, which is simmering, until proper thickness
of gravy is obtained. Serve with rice. (or on tortilla with bean and
guacamole-flour tortilla that is)
The work of the individual still remains the spark that moves
mankind forward.
