Recipe Notes

Most recipes for Carne Guisada call for beef stock. I have never needed it because there was enough liquid generated from the meat and veggies. You can have some on hand to add just before adding the chocolate roux in case it looks like most of the liquid has simmered away. You shouldn’t need any more than 1/4 – 1/2 cup.
