Chunks of beef are stewed in tomato sauce, vinegar, onion, sweet peppers, chunks of veggies, and olives will quickly become your favorite one-pot dish to make! Leftover is even better. Served Carne Guisada on rice, pasta, or even tacos!
Preheat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add in the beef (in batches) and cook until it loses its red color. We are basically searing the meat here to seal in the juices. Remove from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add all the chopped ingredients and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the beef, vinegar, tomato sauce, bay leaves, and 1 Tbsp of salt. Stir to mix everything. Cover with a lid and cook for 1.5-2 hours or until beef is tender
Add carrots and potatoes to the pot. Bring it back to a boil and lower it to simmer and cook for another 15 minutes
Stir in the olives and mix everything. Have a taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. It should be savory and slightly tangy. Cook for another minute and ready to be served
