Food Recipes: Cuban Beef Stew
by: Joy
Categories: Beef, Dinner / Supper, Lunch, Main Dishes, Soup, Stew, Chili, etc
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil, extra virgin
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (I put a lot more than this in)
- 1 red or green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 1/2 lbs. sirloin tips, cubed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1/2 cup dry or cooking sherry
- 2 cups of blended ripe tomatoes
- 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 4 potatoes, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
- Salt to taste
Directions
In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil, stirring frequently, until transparent. Stir in cubed meat, and cook until browned. Stir in pepper, bay leaf, cumin, and oregano; cook for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in rest of the ingredients except potatoes, carrots and salt. Pour in enough water to just cover meat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer until fork tender (about 1 1/2 hours). Add more water if the stew becomes too thick.
Stir in potatoes and carrots. Season with salt to taste. Cook covered, until veggies are almost tender. Uncover, cook until done (about another 1/2 hour).
The original recipe is from allrecipes.com, but I modified it quite a bit. We love it!

I recently placed an order with you for replacment filters for my Berkey Light water filter, along with a few smaller items. The order arrived quickly, and I thank you for it. I ordered your stevia leaf powder as well, and although it was not what I was expecting, and I really don't like it, you were quick to repond in a email about ways I could try and use it in a different manner. Although it is not a product I would recommend to anyone else, I would certianly recommend your excellent customer care! Thanks.
