Introduction
A rich and comforting South Texas style Carne Guisada (stewed beef) simmered to perfection in a thick, savory gravy seasoned with garlic, onion, cumin, and fire-roasted tomatoes, served in warm homemade flour tortillas.
Step 1
Cube the 3 lbs of chuck roast into 1.5 x 1.5 inch pieces to match the 2 lbs of pre-cut steak tips.
Step 2
Preheat the Hestan Cue induction burner with a Dutch oven to medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons of beef tallow to the preheated Dutch oven to help brown the meat.
Step 4
Gradually add the cubed beef to the pot and stir to brown all sides for a few minutes.
Step 5
Add one medium diced yellow onion and mix it thoroughly into the browned meat.

Important Notes
Using a lean cut like chuck roast or brisket trimmings is ideal because the meat will break down beautifully over the long cooking process without releasing too much fat.
Adding beef tallow provides necessary fat to help brown the lean meat and enrich the gravy later.
Do not flatten the dough balls before placing them on the hot tortilla press; placing them round directly in the center yields the most uniform shape.
The flour slurry must be whisked thoroughly to prevent lumps before being added to the hot stew.
