Ingredients for Adobo Beef With Gravy

  • Stewing Beef
  • 1 tbsp dry mustard
  • 2 tbsp adobo seasoning
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups beef broth

How to Make Adobo Beef With Gravy

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs stew beef into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp dry mustard, 2 tbsp adobo seasoning, 2 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Add the beef to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
  4. Lightly spray a large skillet or Dutch oven with vegetable spray.
  5. Add the beef mixture to the skillet, ensuring all the seasoning is transferred.
  6. Brown the beef on all sides over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, working in batches if necessary.
  7. Pour 2 cups beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  9. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  10. Serve the adobo beef over a generous helping of mashed potatoes. Garnish with your favorite vegetables, such as steamed broccoli or green beans.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
