A deliciously hearty Mexican stew.

Makes

10 servings

Serving size

1 cup

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 pounds lean beef (eye round roast), cubed

1 large onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup cilantro

1 can (15 ounces) stewed tomatoes

⅓ can (2 ounces) no-salt-added tomato paste

1 can (13 ounces) hominy

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot. Gently blot beef cubes dry with paper towels, carefully place them in the pot, and sauté.
  2. Add onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, cilantro, and enough water to cover the meat. Cover pot and cook over low heat until meat is tender.
  3. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Continue cooking for about 20 minutes.
  4. Add hominy and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, over low heat. If too thick, add water for desired consistency.

Cooking Tip

As a variation, boneless, skinless chicken breasts may be used instead of beef cubes.
