Carne Guisada with cheese...Please!

You all know how I love my Mexican food...and if you have not had this or even heard of it...you are in for a treat! Carne guisada is one of my absolute FAVORITE Mexican dishes! It's slow cooked beef in gravy with diced potatoes and you can eat it in a taco, over rice, by itself or however your little heart desires. Whatever you do...make sure you put cheese on it! Mmmmm. I decided to make a big batch on last Sunday since my plans of laying by the pool were foiled once again by the weather...and then we enjoyed it for lunch at the office the next day!

Carne Guisada

4lbs top sirloin steak, cut into 1 inch cubes

3 potatoes, diced

1 - 2 cups water

1 beef bouillon cube

3 tablespoons tomato knorr

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

salt & pepper, to taste

1/3 cup flour

1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil

In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over med/high heat. Coat the meat with the flour, salt and pepper. Brown the meat until browned on all sides.

Add the water, potatoes, bouillon, knorr, cumin and oregano. Cover and simmer for 3 or more hours, stirring occasionally.

NOTE- I ended up needing to thicken it a little. I had some leftover bacon grease and made a roux with that and flour...it was a delicious addition.
