Carne Guisada with tender beef slices and potatoes braised in tomatoes for an easy weeknight dinner. It’s hearty, tasty and fantastic with rice!

This Carne guisada recipe was inspired by a spicy beef dish I had at a Mexican restaurant we went to for lunch last week, and I previously planned to post it on my other blog, but since it’s similar to our Filipino-style of cooking, I think you’ll love it!

Like the picadillo soup from a few days ago, the base for this ginisang baka is the holy trinity of Filipino flavors which are onions, garlic, and tomatoes. As it is, however, my take on a Mexican dish, this beef stew has bold, spicy flavors from the addition of jalapeno peppers.
