    Looking for a recipe for a Mexican dish
    I am looking for someone that has a good tried and true recipe for Carne Gasada. I have found several on the internet but would rather have one from an old family recipe. Thanks in advance.

    I try to never make anything the same way twice, but here's what I did yesterday:

    3 lb chuck steaks cut into 1" cubes
    1 Large White Onion chopped
    One Can of RoTel Tomatoes
    3 Tbls Cumin
    2 Ancho Chilis de-stemmed and seeded
    2 Sun Dried Tomato Halves, (cause that's what I had left)
    1 Handful of sliced and dried Shiitake Mushrooms


    Brown the meat in two batches in a five quart Dutch Oven.
    Drain the first batch.
    When the second batch is almost done, toss in the chopped onion and the drained first batch.
    When heated through, sprinkle in the cumin and allow it to fry with the meat and onion for 2 or 3 minutes.
    Then pour in the can of RoTel with liquid, stir well and allow to heat through.

    While your first batch of meat is browing, put the Ancho Peppers, Sun Dried Tomato, and Mushrooms in a small sauce pan, together with a beef bullion cube, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Allow to simmer for about ten minutes. Turn off heat, and leave covered until the meat is all browned and RoTel is heated through.

    Strain the Pepper/Mushroom mixture allowing the broth to pour into the Dutch Oven with the meat and onion.

    Dump the reconstituted Pepper/Mushroom mixture onto a cutting board and allow to cool. Finely chop the mushrooms as it's really the added depth they bring to the broth that you were after anyway.

    Peel the skins from the Peppers, (should come off quite easily). Chop the Tomato halves and the Pepppers and add it all to the pot.

    Season to taste and simmer with the lid cocked for three hours making sure it has plenty of liquid.

    Served with finely chopped Onion and Cilantro on fresh steamed flour tortillas. The kids also added grated cheese and sour cream.
