Easiest Way to Cook Yummy Pork Stew Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Pork Stew. An authentic Mexican pork stew made with dried chiles, no chili powder here! The guajillo chiles add a very smoky flavor while the ancho chiles add a touch of smoky sweetness. To add another level of flavor, we always top our puerco asado with sliced onions marinated in fresh lemon juice.

A savory stew of pork and potatoes to warm you inside and out.

Great with crusty bread or corn muffins for dipping into stew and cleaning the bowls!

In a large Dutch oven pan, put the butter and the cubed pork.

  2. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat..

  3. Brown the meat for about 5 minutes..

  4. Remove the browned meat from the pot..

  5. Add onion and cook until it starts to go translucent..

  6. Add water and beer and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot as you go to release the tasty cooked-on bits. (You can use water only if you prefer)..

  7. Add bullion, potato, carrot, and meat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low..

  8. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, until meat and veg is tender and stew thickens..

  9. Season if necessary. If youre using salted bullion/stock, you probably won't need to add additional salt, so be sure to taste!.

  10. Add the cabbage to the pot, cover, and summer for another 10 minutes, until the cabbage is tender. (Optional).

  11. Your stew should thicken from the meats flour coating and the potatoes, but if it's too thin, dissolve a tablespoon of corn starch or flour in 2 tablespoons water and gradually add it to the stew. Cook, stirring frequently, until it thickens..

The best cuts of meat for pork stew also happen to be the most affordable.

Pork shoulder is a cut of meat that is great for cooking low and slow (it's the same cut of meat I use for pulled pork or green chili).

Choose the cut of pork based on your cooking method.

Tightly seal bag; turn bag several times to coat pork well.

Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
