Carne Guisada

Step 2: Brown the beef

Braising cut

  • Chuck roast, cubed
    900 g2 lbs
  • Beef cheeks, cubed
    900 g2 lbs
  • Salt
    ~ 15 g

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cubed, prepped meat (if using beef cheeks or tough cuts, remove excess fat or large connective tissue chunks). Sprinkle with salt to season evenly.

Sear the meat cubes until you get some (if you want deeper browning, you can do this in small batches to better sear each piece. Takes longer, but builds deeper flavor).
