Sudado de Carne Res is a very popular dish in Colombia, is very easy to make and delicious over white rice with avocado on the side. I think every Colombian home makes a sudado dish a least once a week. Sudados can also be made with pork or chicken.
Colombian Beef Stew (Sudado de Res)
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef for stew

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion and red pepper and sautué until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the tomatoes, garlic, salt and ground pepper and sautué for 5 more minutes.
- Add the beef, water, beef bouillon and cumin powder. Reduce the heat to medium low cover and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Thank you for your comment!
beef stew great!
YUMMY! Mouth-watering when I saw the great combination of stewed beef and cooked rice.
I do love the cumin powder, pepper, and fresh cilantro that you added in this recipe, the beef is fully flavored by this, terrific!
Thank you for sharing.

Aimee
Can this be made in a crockpot/slow cooker? If so, do I have to changr anything? Can the majority of your meals be cooked in the crockpot?
Erica
Yes, but the cooking time will be 4 hours (high heat) or 8 (low heat) and 2 cups of water or beef stock .
Gisella
Erica,
Para cocinar en el crockpot debo poner todo al mismo tiempo incluyendo yuca y papa por 8 horas en temperatura baja?
Gracias
Erica
Aimee, I don't cook all my meals in the slow cooker, but some of them.
JW
My Abuela actually uses a pressure cooker more. It captures more flavor and speeds up the cooking time without compromising the meals.
Kendra
Delicious! I made this a couple nights ago and it turned out perfectly. Thank you so much for the recipe!

Colombia has the best food for lunch, always a stew or a hearty soup, lots of color, spices etc. Being the exact opposite of Brasil which uses no flavors or spices or peppers and is content with a diet of white things covered in salt or anything that is just salty with no color or flavor. Brasil likes to bbq meat but with no flavors or spices, just salt. A pizza is salt, cheeese, salt, chesse, salt. No tomato sauce, nothing. Salt is the only spice in Brasil. Very dissappointing. Colombia is way ahead, way more intelligent, etc etc. etc.
Nathaly
im soo sorry Erica, how much of water you put for the Colombian sudado...?
Erica Dinho
For this Sudado de Res: 3 cups of water.
Jonathan
Love this recipe, it tasted just like moms cooking!!! I have made just about every sudado you have on here... This is the only website i use for recipes... Thank you very much!!

I doubt it was autocorrect, but rather lack of knowledge. Thankfully people aren’t a lost cause and they’re usually open to learning IF someone is kind in teaching them without being negatively critical. At any rate, I quite often have to correct the spelling of Colombia for those who may never have had a reason to learn it. Know much about Nicaragua or Belize? How about Lichtenstein or it’s history? The point is that there are almost 200 counties in the world. There are hardly any experts among us.
As for this recipe, I’m super excited to try it! It’ll be the first Colombian meal I’ll be preparing after being married to a Colombian for 8 years. Hey, don’t judge…I’m not the most experimental cook & quite frankly I’m a little nervous about searching for yuca in the store. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to find it here! Might have to go to Elizabeth, NJ for fresh! Wish me luck!

Hi !!! i always follow your recipes and i love them but i have a hard time buying the right meat. FOr this particular recipe what type of meat is it? For instance if I go tot he store what exactly am I looking for
Erica Dinho
Beef stew meat such as chuck roast or sirloin.
Clara Knott
I love your recipes but could you lease indicate which sort of onions you use in your recipes.
I suppose you mean round onions when you do not specify spring onions.
Kind regards
Erica Dinho
White or yellow onion.

Thank you!!! My family is part Colombian and now that we are apart, I get homesick for them and the food. I've been searching for these recipes for some time, and am so glad to have found your site and posts. This comfort food is delicious, and I look forward to trying your recipes as they appear to be so much like the ones served at home.
Desiree
My Colombian husband and I give this two thumbs up! Thank you for the excellent recipe.

LOVE your website -
My family in New Jersey are from Colombia and we arrive here in 1983.. My mother makes the best Colombia dishes and every time I try one of your recipes --- it taste almost like if my mother made it --
I know the difference is because of my inexperience with the recipes but I know you cook just like my mother. She is from Bucaramanga and her cooking is excellent.
My Mom doesn't have any recipes written down and it is hard for her to teach us but your recipes makes everything so much easier.
I tell everyone to use your website for authentic Colombian recipes.
Thanks for your website.
Love it - love it

Hey. I have a question. My parents are both from medillian and my mother has plated sudado on a plate. I am curious what part of Colombia is this version of sudado is made? I have been there a few times and this looks honestly a lot better then I am normal accustomed to.
Erica Dinho
This is my grandmother recipe.

Hi there,
I am a colombian following you from Brisbane, Australia and your recipes have been really helpful.
I want to ask which beef cut do you use for your stew? The cutas here are a bit different than in Colombia or USA for that matter. Thank you
Erica Dinho
Puedes usar cualquier carne para estofado.
Lina B.
This stew was sooooo delicious!! Made it today in my instant pot. One pound of beef (the amount I had available) for 25 min on high pressure and it was out of this world. Thank you for sharing your recipes : )))))

Mi abuelita in a nutshell. Thank you for reminding us of home, especially during these times.
Gloria
This sounds amazing! I will be making it soon. I love your recipes! My parents are Colombian. All of my mom's recipes are what I like to call "a su gusto". Anytime I ask how much salt or seasoning or how much of anything she says "A su gusto. Usted vera". Not helpful mom! Your recipes have helped me so much!
Here is my question, can I use 2 cups of a can of petite diced tomatoes or do I have to use fresh tomatoes?
Thanks!
Gloria
