Carne Guisada (Beef Stew) - Easy Puerto Rican Recipe

Carne guisada is such a traditional Puerto Rican dish. Super tender flavorful meat with the perfect sauce to drip on top of your rice. My mom talks about walking into my great grandpa's "fonda" when she was little and this was always on the menu. The dish is super easy to make - it does require a bit of planning but minimal effort. This is a great dish for your next family meal!

En PR mis vecinos cocinaban y yo me hacía boberias (pasta, arroz con huevo) y cosas asi... Hace unos meses alquilé mi casa en PR y me fui para AZ sin saber nada. Gracias por este video, cuanto deseo tener a mi abuela o madre y padre enseñandome. Pero ahora me siento ready para vivir como vivia en Casa aunque sea 100 mil millas lejos de PR🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@Day-Zee62]

The last time I made this, my son told me he almost choked on a piece of the beef🤣Obviously, I needed to cook it more. But this recipe is going to change that! I cant wait to make it. I adore "Carne "Guisada!" 🤗

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Hahahaha!! It’s such a great dish!!

[@yokahutx506]

I love how both of you demonstrate the Puerto Rico cuisine recipes. Very easy and simple. Way to go!!! Wepa!!! Looking forward to more air fryer recipes. By any chance where did you got the pot that you use in this recipe? I love it.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thank you! We got that pot at Marshalls/ TJMaxx. The brand is MasterClass- we actually just did a giveaway for three of them since so many people have asked us about them.

[@flex_007]

[@emiliaescobar7652]

This is what I was looking for, an easy recipe, my mother used to make this for us, mostly on sundays, Lord I miss her, anyway, will try this, but would like to only use a lb of meet instead of 2, since i'm trying this out for the 1st time this way, would you suggest using 2 cups of water? I can wing the rest of the ingredients. TY for your time.

[@AM-er3ic]

This looks delicious! Tfs! 🙂🙂

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thanks!!

[@HJCarrillo]

Looks real sabroso! Two questions. First, are you using an induction cooker? Second, where can I buy a pot like the one you used to prepare and cook this meal?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

We are using and induction and we found our pots at HomeGoods/ TJ Maxx. We are actually doing a giveaway next week and are gifting three. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omLIipaIbc9gr80

[@lisamolinar4224]

O-jo this looks so perfect I was thinking how about doing it in the Crock-Pot is that an idea that would go good for this dish, let me know .. either way you look at it I'll be making it because I love the ingredients thank you..From out here in Northern California..

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Hi Lisa! Great dish for the crockpot. Unfortunately don’t know how long you would want to leave it in for but I’m sure it would work.

[@wandayanez2454]

I am making it now. My son loves the scent coming from the pot. It's a torture to wait for 2 hours.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Awesome!!!

[@Maria-qz6gh]

Yum😋 which Adobe you use?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

We usually do our own, recipe here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKWtgJeilKyreas or Goya without pepper

[@carmenhernandez-nk5se]

If don’t have the time for two hours just after you add all the ingredients transfer the meat to a Crock Pot and put it on high for two or three hours and will be very good too. Cook your Rice and Beens and you have a delicious meal my family like yellow plantains or Tostones.❤😅

[@MsToccora]

Do you have to add the bay leaves? Is that flavor that it adds important to the taste?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

It does add a very particular taste but you can certainly skip it if you don’t like them.

[@mercedescarrero7773]

Yes, you need to add it. Also you need to add dry oregano.

[@Fidelb101]

Last year, Fidelb was so full of it last year that he couldn't sleep. He sang his sad songs all night... 🤓... And in the morning #Fidelb still made up his mind, and he began his channel... So come in.

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

[@jndmrls]

If you were to use chicken instead of beef, how would you otherwise adapt this recipe if at all?

[@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen]

Thank you! We actually have a recipe for chicken stew/pollo guisado so check that one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJTFfZh-n9N2d9k
