Instant Pot Puerto Rican Carne Guisada

Just about every culture has their take on a classic beef stew. Puerto Rican cuisine is no different. This was the first stew my dad showed me how to make, so will always hold a special place in my heart, on top of quickly becoming one of my favorite fall dishes to make. While it is completely a meal unto itself I love having it served over some white rice just to round it out. This was a perfect recipe to modernize and make easier by making it a pressure cooker recipe.

Servings 6

Equipment

• Instant Pot

Ingredients

  

• 3 pounds cubed beef
• 4 diced garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons adobo
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 4 tablespoons sofrito
• 1 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1½ teaspoon sazón
• ¼ cup alcaparrado
• 3 peeled potatoes cut into 1 inch cubes

Instructions

 

• Place cubed beef in a large bowl and sprinkle with adobo, cumin, flour and toss to thoroughly coat the beef. Select sauté and add in the seasoned beef in batches browning the beef on all sides, about 5 minutes a batch.
• Add the rest of the ingredients except for the potatoes into the cooker along with the beef. Stir everything together, lock the lid into place. Cook on high pressure and set to a 10 minute cook time. When the timer is done let the pressure release naturally for about 5 minutes, then do a quick release.
• Add in the cubed potatoes and replace the lid set to high pressure again and cook for 2 more minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally.

Notes

If you want to make this in a traditional stop top way. Cook in a large pot or caldero, once the meat is seared remove it from the pot and add in sofrito, cilantro, garlic allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Add in seasonings and enough water to cover meat and carrots cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add in potatoes and cook covered another 20 minutes.
