There are many versions of this Mexican classic, known as Carne Guisada, but Chef Maribel stays true to her grandmother’s style of cooking with tender, flavorful beef chuck braised in rich beef stock with onions, garlic, tomatoes, serrano chiles, herbs, and spices. It’s served with creamy roasted Yukon Gold potatoes and refreshing green bean salad, brightened with zesty jalapeño and cauliflower escabeche, fresh cilantro, and crumbled Queso Fresco. Use the white corn tortillas to scoop up delicious bites or make tacos, and dig into a hearty, satisfying, and flavor-packed meal.
