Beef or Turkey Stew / Carne de res o de pavo guisada

This dish goes nicely with a green leaf lettuce and cucumber salad and a dinner roll. Plantains or corn can be used in place of the potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean beef or turkey breast, cut into cubes

  • 2 Tbsp. whole-wheat flour

  • 1/4 tsp. salt (optional)

  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

  • 1/4 tsp. cumin

  • 1-1/2 Tbsp. olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
