Authentic Guatemalan Spiced Beef Curry

Assemble the ingredients: beef, tomato, flour, parsley, paprika, salt, black pepper.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until spiced.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Guatemalan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Guatemalan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
