Panamanian beef stew with tomato, root vegetables, sofrito and recaito.
About Carne Guisada
Analida Braeger presents this Panamanian carne guisada as a traditional family staple remembered from childhood. Beef sirloin simmers with tomato, potato, carrot, celery, onion, herbs and the named seasonings sofrito and recaito.
Cumin, sweet paprika and jalapeño flavour the beef and vegetables. Cilantro contributes its fresh herbal character, while olive oil and browned beef provide the stew’s savoury base.
The beef becomes fork-tender in the simmered sauce, with vegetable pieces remaining alongside it. White rice is selected from the source’s serving options to accompany the finished stew.
