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

  • 2 medium onions, sliced

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 1 medium red or green bell pepper, sliced

  • 1 medium tomato, finely minced

  • 5 cups beef or turkey broth, fat removed

  • 5 small potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 12 small carrots, cut into large chunks

  • 1-1/4 cups green peas

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Mix the whole-wheat flour with salt, pepper, and cumin. Roll the beef or turkey cubes in the mixture. Shake off excess flour.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef or turkey cubes and sauté until nicely brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Place beef or turkey in an ovenproof casserole dish.
