Classic Mexican Steak & Potato Stew
Wendy GonzalezShare
After a long day, there’s nothing more comforting than a warm filling meal. The combination of steak and potatoes is used in so many forms, but the most satisfying is a stew with lots of flavor and little ingredients. While the steps to prepare this dish might take a little longer than usual, trust us when we say that it was definitely worth the wait. This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation and now to anyone with a love for Mexican food.
In this episode, we chose to make Bisteces en Chile Pasilla, a savory dish that consists of steak and potatoes mixed in Chile Pasilla sauce. We also made sure to add as much flavor using simple ingredients like clove, all spice, cumin, and oregano. But what really made this cuisine stand out was the Pasilla salsa. Our very eager taste-testers (aka our coworkers) couldn’t get enough of it. Found below all the steps and ingredients used for this recipe:
