1-Getting started with this Carne Picada Recipe is a breeze, and you’ll love how simple the steps are. Begin by dicing 2 pounds of beef into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the beef until it’s nicely browned, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

2-Next, add the 3 minced garlic cloves and the spices 1.5 teaspoons salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, 0.25 teaspoon oregano, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin to build those rich flavors. Toss in the diced 1 medium yellow onion and 2 chopped medium-large poblano peppers, cooking them for a few minutes until they soften.

3-Stir in the canned tomatoes, cover the pot, and let everything simmer for at least one hour, stirring now and then. Add beef broth as needed to keep it from drying out, then uncover and cook until the sauce thickens up. Let it cool a bit before serving with toppings like sour cream or warm tortillas.
