This is another one of those meals that I like to cook when I crave a good home cooked meal. My mom often made this meal for my family and me and we all loved it. It was one of those dishes she made when she ran out of ideas.
She serves this dish with rice, salad and avocado on the side, which are common sides for many Colombian dishes. It is simple, but I love this Carne Guisada con Zanahoria. Just the smell reminds me of home.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
(4 servings)
- 2 pounds skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 4 equal portions
- 1 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- Salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 large carrots, peeled, and thinly sliced
- 2 cups water
Directions
- Place the steaks between sheets of wax paper, then pound until each steak is about ¼ inch thick.
- Place the pounded steaks in a zip lock plastic bag. Add the cumin, garlic, onions, salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Be sure the steaks are evenly covered.
- In a large sauce pan, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Place the steaks into the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side.
- Add the carrots and water. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes. Add more water if necessary.
- Uncover the sauce pan and using a fork mash the carrots. Cover and cook 5 minutes more. Serve over white rice.

Carrot sauce is something I never thought to make! It sounds super delicious and it’s so pretty too!
Heather says
Im confused. Do you cook the steaks in a separate skillet and make the sauce in a separate saucepan, then combine them only to serve?
Or cook both in the same pan?
Erica says
Heather- The same pan.

I love the sound of this recipe, but mostly I am intrigue because its common stuff that I use everyday, but just never as you have done in this recipe. Can’t wait to change that.

I would have never thought of carrot sauce! Wow!

I like this idea. A difference from tomato/salsa sauces. Sure does dress up white rice.
