beef

🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: pork

Lean cuts reduce fat intake, while pork can be more affordable.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: homemade vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth can be lower in calories, while water with seasoning is budget-friendly.

In a medium pan, add the diced beef, green pepper, onion slices, garlic, and water.

Over medium high heat, bring water to a boil and begin to hydrate the food.

Once the water has cooked off, add avocado oil and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Add flour and toss to coat.

Add tomato powder mixed with water to make a tomato paste and sauté for 1 minute.

Add beef broth and scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Stir well and add cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until beef is tender and gravy thickens.

For very tender carne guisada, continue to cook covered on low heat for 1-2 hours.
