This was something my Mexican boyfriend made one night, and it was delicious. A tasty salsa verde sauce is used to cook the beef, onions, garlic, and peppers. Serve with tortillas, rice, and beans. To make the sauce creamier, you can also add some sour cream. You can even add it later as a garnish.

I barely made changes to this recipe and it came out great! The only thing I did differently was cook the stew longer and added a little bit of cayenne pepper. The type of green salsa you use may make a difference in taste too, but otherwise everything is good!
Loved this! I browned the beef then added it to the slow cooker, added additional beef broth and garlic. It turned out amazing! So nice to have an awesome meal ready when I got home. Just had to shred some lettuce and had it with tortillas, cheese and sour cream. So good!
I actually made This in the crock pot. I wanted the meat to denature more. It smelled so good and tasted just as good of not better. Super easy.
This recipe has exceptional flavor! Followed some sour cream on the side. It was considerably paler than the recipe picture, and I’m not sure how that happened. But WOW was it good!!
I made it as is the 1st time. The one adjustment, letting it stew for quite a while covered, at least 2 hours. The 2nd time, I browned the full seasoned chuck roast, threw it in a crockpot with the ingredients, let it sit about 7 hours or so on low, pulled out the roast, shredded it, put it back in for a couple hours…halve the time on high, or not, the longer and lower it goes the better, you cannot burn anything in a crockpot. Cubed works fine in the crock too, but buying the full roast was cheaper than the stew meat. Also I never de-seed peppers and usually grow Serranos rather than Jalapeño. a little hotter and best for Giardinieria.
Doubled the recipe and used a cut up sirloin roast. Outstanding recipe the family loves it.
We have been making this for years. I usually add a lot more green salsa and simmer until meat is tender. The last couple of time we have used this to make Empanadas. I used pre made pie crust. It is so good!
An instant hit with my husband who likes his food spicy!
here’s a simple review: Bland and rubbery! Spend your time making something else
Very tasty! Instead of stew meat and cutting that into smaller pieces, I used beef for stir fry- perfect size. Let the mixture simmer on low for about an hour before using it for enchiladas. Family loved it!
The best
I made this recipe today. I followed the recipe, but did make a few changes. My experience for using beef stew meat to make beef stew or vegetable beef soup has not been good. Even cooking beef stew meat in a crockpot for hours, the beef is tough & chewy. So I used a pound of sirloin steak cut into 3/4” cubes. I didn’t have a lime, so I left that out. I used about 10 oz. jar of green salsa & a small can of mild diced green chile peppers. To have enough liquid I poured in 1 cup of beef broth. I felt the recipe needed some tomato flavor, I added 1/2 cup of crushed tomatoes (Cento brand is the best) I let the meat mixture simmer on low heat for 1-1/2 hours. I add cilantro near the end. The sauce thickened slowly, but never dried out. I served the Mexican Beef Supreme with seasoned pinto beans, white rice & hot flour tortillas. My husband & I thought it was delicious!
I would not change a thing! I served with corn tortillas and sour cream.
I used leftover smoked brisket for this recipe. Added lots of cumin, garlic, a can of black beans, and a few tomatoes we had here. Served over quinoa which I cooked in chicken bouillon. It tasted quite good. May be good with the addition of shredded cheese, but DH is not a big cheese fan, so left that out. This is a good way to use up leftover brisket
I made this how the recipe was supposed to be I thought it had good flavour and was really delicious the only thing I would say is maybe put some peppers in or other veg to bulk it up a bit
Followed recipe exactly except for adding an entire jar of green salsa. Used Pace. It had the lowest sodium of all the brands at my grocery store. I used 2lbs bottom round cut into smaller chunks. Served over white rice, with refried beans and garnished with some fresh cilantro, tomatoes and additional diced jalapeño. I will definitely make again and try it with chicken next time.
Slow cooked all day.
I added a couple of Anaheim peppers and let it all stew for a couple of hours. My wife had never had Carne Guisado before so she didn’t know what to expect. One bite and she raved about how tasty it was. There was a little left over and she let me know in no uncertain terms SHE (feather than me) would be taking it to work for lunch tomorrow.
Did not add jalapeño, will definitely make again! Delicious
I had this for my dinner over rice but I added more verde sauce and let the meat slowly simmer for an hour and a half , very tender , and added a chopped bell pepper and can of whole green ortega peppers as well / use this if you don’t want to make your own green sauce , tomatillos , peppers , onion , garlic and seasoning from scratch / make sure to add enough so the meat does not dry out on a long slow simmer / 1 bottle seems to do the trick / Couldn’t add photo when I say ” use this ” but I used one 24 oz. bottle of Herdez Salsa Verde / green
Very easy and very good! The family loved it! I made it in a crockpot so the flavors were blended perfectly.
