Carne Guisada

Delicious!

-Just a Pinch

1 green bell pepper

1 medium onion

3 large cloves of garlic

2 large tomatoes

3 lb boneless beef shoulder roast (or stew meat)

2 tsp ground cumin

1 Tbsp heaping tablespoon of lard (vegatable oil or olive oil can be substituted but will not give it the same flavor.)

1 Tbsp salt

1 tsp ground pepper

1/2 c water

1 Tbsp flour 

In a large stove top casserole pan add lard, (or oil), and turn heat to medium. Cut up shoulder roast to 1 inch cubes and add to pan. Roughly chop the tomato and add on top of meat.

Remove seeds from bell pepper, rough chop and add to top of ingredients.Roughly chop the onion and add to pan.

Chop garlic cloves small and thin and add to top of pan. Add cumin, salt and pepper. Stir well and cover with a lid. Cook on LOW for 2 ½ hours. 

Now you will notice that the vegetables have cooked down to practically nothing. They have converted to pure flavor! Stir flour into water and add mixture into pot and let simmer on low for the next 20-30 minutes.
