Carne En Su Jugo

Carne en su Jugo is a typical dish from Guadalajara, Jalisco, in Mexico. It mainly consists of beef steak cooked ‘in its own juices’, which is where the name of the Mexican beef stew recipe comes from. A smooth mixture made with tomatillo, jalapeno, onion and coriander is added to the beef plus a bit of stock. Homemade beans then go in at the end to give more texture to the dish. 

This Mexican stew is served warm, with previously fried crispy bacon on top, finely diced onion, finely chopped coriander, with tortillas on the side. Pure Mexican comfort food in a bowl! The beauty of this Carne en su Jugo recipe is that Gran Luchito Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce and Gran Luchito Cantina Beans do half the work for you when preparing this quick beef stew, so you’re able to have all the comfort of this dish in no time.
