4.9.17 This stew has deep, rich and robust layers of flavor with Mexican tastes lingering in the background, and the beef almost melts in your mouth. Followed the recipe to the letter, with the exception of using regular oregano instead of Mexican oregano. Do yourself a favor, and bring out that electric pressure cooker or an Instant Pot® or and give this recipe a try, you won’t be disappointed.
I have made this twice. I do not own a pressure cooker or instapot so I used a stock pot. The only changes I made were adding 3 stalks chopped celery and cooking time. I brought beef mixture to a boil then simmered for 2 hours, simmered veggies for 45 min then added cabbage and simmered 30 min more. This was excellent and beef melts in your mouth!
Wonderful flavor! I used my Dutch oven instead of an electric pressure cooker and it took about the same amount of time. I didn t have a quart of beef broth so I used 14.5 oz of water and added a tsp of Kitchen Bouquet. It was so tasty and full of rich flavor. I added the cabbage after turning off the heat and let it set for approximately 20 minutes it turned out great. Definitely a new favorite.
A great stew with just a hint of Mexican flair. This was my first attempt at a stew and I love the use of the InstantPot. I used sweet potato and parsnips instead of red potatoes and added green beans. Followed the cook time directed and the meat turned out melt-in-your-mouth tender and the vegetables were perfect! Spot on cook time! Great job Baking Nana!
My family loved it. The only change I made was I didn’t use a pressure cooker. I made it in my big cast iron stew pot. I doubled the recipe and the leftovers were even more amazing. I also added some celery and zucchini cut in quarter rounds because we like a lot of vegetables. The seasoning was perfect.
I have been making similar great Mexican Stew for years. For extra taste doubled the spices, used fresh oregano from my garden, extra crushed garlic cloves, touch of ground cinnamon, half beef broth and half beer, and followed the recipe Steps. Just before serving garnished with fresh cilantro from my garden. Always a hit. OLE!, OLE!
Great flavor with a bit of a kick this stew is hearty and filling for a chilly evening! I made it grain-free and there was plenty of flavor. The directions for a pressure cooker are spot on yielding tender meat but veggies with some structure. The family really liked it and I like that there are leftovers! This makes about a gallon so it's a great way to stretch that protein dollar! Thanks!
I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The meat was so tender and the stew was even better the second day.
Excellent. Just a slight bit of Mexican flair. When I started making this I didn't realize how crunched I was for time. I rushed this a LOT. I shaved probably 20 minutes off of this recipe and it still came out fantastic. Thanks for a great recipe!
Was no a stew that we liked,I would Omit the tomatoes for sure.ll go back to my regular Beef stew Recipe. To many steps here and not tasting like Our beef Stew.
