Carne guisada con papas is a mexican dish made with beef and potatoes braised in a tomato and chilli sauce. Every mexican and latinoamerican household has its own version. Today I am sharing the one my mom taught me.
Place tomatoes and chillies (to your liking) in a sauce pan. Cover with water and boil until tender. Let them cool sightly.
Place cooked tomatoes and chillies in a blender, garlic, cumin and a cup of the cooking water. Blend until smooth.
Season the meat with salt and pepper. In a cooking pan heat 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, add meat and stir fry over medium heat until the meat is juicy and starts to change color (about 8-10 minutes).
Pour in tomatoes and chilli sauce, add water until the meat is 2cm covered. Add salt and bring to boil.
Cover the pan and low the heat. Cook for 30 minutes or until meat is very tender.
Add potatoes and -if necessary- more water to allow potatoes to cook through.
Cook until potatoes are tender, adjust of salt and pepper and let the sauce reduce to your liking.
