About Carne en salsa
Carne En Salsa, or "meat in sauce," is a flavorful dish rooted in Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in Central American countries. It typically features tender chunks of beef simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce seasoned with garlic, onions, bell peppers, and spices like cumin and oregano. The sauce often includes a splash of broth or wine to deepen its flavor. Carne En Salsa is a hearty protein-packed dish that provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins from the beef. Paired with rice or beans, it delivers a balanced meal with both protein and carbohydrates. However, depending on the recipe, its saturated fat content can be significant, especially if fattier cuts of meat are used or excess oil is added during preparation. Opting for lean beef and minimal oil can make this traditional dish a healthier option without compromising its bold, savory taste.
