Carne Guisada
Recipe:
At least 1lb of Steak. I think we used chuck steak for this recipe.
Cumin (we used about 3 tablespoons)
1 medium onion
1 bell pepper
Chili powder
half a can of tomato sauce
Zucchini
Brown the meat (my mom mentions grey, because you don't want to fully cook the meat at first) until it's grey in just a lil EVOO. Once it is grey, add the onion, water, bell pepper and cumin. Bring it to a quick boil and cover it. Cook this for about thirty minutes. Add the zucchini at the last 15 minutes and boil it with the rest of the meat/veggies until it turns clear. The tomato sauce is added when the zucchini goes in.
For the rice:
My mom's ratio is always one handful of uncooked rice per person and a couple extra for leftovers. She usually adds just enough oil to coat the rice. Once the rice turns beige, it is time to add 2 minced garlic cloved, 1/4 of a chopped onion, 1/2 a can of tomato sauce, knorr (or tomato/chicken bouillion), and water. She only adds enough water to cover the rice with maybe 1/4 of an inch extra. She brings that to a boil uncovered until some of the water evaporates and the rice settles down. Then she covers it, turns the stove way down and covers it, cooking it for exactly 20 more minutes. Voila, yummy rice/meat. If I left anything out, please follow the video!
