What is the origin of the dish Carne Guisada?

Answer 1

Carne Guisada is spanish for meat with gravy. I imagine most cultures have their own variation of meat and gravy. I cut up a round steak, season it with New Mexico chili powder, salt, and pepper. Then brown it in a little oil. Add chopped onions, garlic and tomatoes. Add a little water if you need. Cook it slowly for about an hour or even longer. I like the meat to be real tender. Thicken the gravy with corn starch. I like to fix Mexican rice, beans, a salad and tortillas as sides. Everyone shows up for this one.
