Estofado con Papas is a hearty Beef and Potato Stew that is a Guatemalan recipe that is associated with the city of Sololá. This dish may be prepared with beef, potatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, and tomatoes. Some additional ingredients like carrots, peas, corn, and mushrooms can be included in the stew.
This beef and potato stew is enhanced with wine or beer, and its consistency should not be too runny but slightly thickened. We recommend accompanying this traditional beef and potato stew with white rice and tortillas.
When you cook a stew you must be patient. Cook it until the potatoes begin to dissolve and the meat is so soft that it can be cut with a fork.
Estofado con Papas is very popular in Hispanic and Latino countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Honduras, Colombia, and El Salvador, to name a few.
