Carne Guisada

This Carne Guisada is adapted from FIVEBRIGS recipe posted on AllRecipes.com. I prefer to cook both the meat and potatoes longer than the original recipe. The cubed meat is cut into bite-sized pieces so that it cook even more, and is easier to eat. I do not add any extra salt, and use a little more than the 2 cups of potatoes (unpeeled) called for in the original. Recently replaced tomato sauce with tomato paste and it made the sauce thicker - which I liked much better!

Ingredients:

• 1 (8 ounce) can canned tomato paste(!)
• 1/4 cup Sofrito sauce
• 1 (.18 ounce) packet Sazon seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Adobo seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2-3 cups cubed potatoes
• 1 cup water

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, combine tomato sauce, Sofrito, Sazon seasoning, Adobo seasoning, and oregano. 
2. Simmer over medium low heat for 5 minutes.
3. Add meat, and cook until evenly browned.
4. Stir in just enough water to cover meat. Cover, and simmer for about 2 hours.
5. Add potatoes, and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
