Authentic Carne Guisada

A mexican style beef stew. You can also serve this over rice or noodles, but I prefer it on tortillas like a burrito. This doubles and freezes well.

- Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 hours or until beef is very tender.
- In a separate skillet mix flour and oil together to form a roux.

- Be careful not to let it burn.

- Be very careful because it can splatter.
