CARNE ASADA & ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• I like to use carne asada, but recipe did not recognize this ingredient.
• Cut up meat into small bite size pieces.
• With oil in the pan fry the garlic and onion slices for a few seconds before you put in the meat.
• Cook the meat until well browned.
• Slice the zucchini into thin slices and put into the pan. I like to use the side of my cheese grater to slice the zucchini it makes for very uniform slices and cooks well.
• Add remaining ingredients and simmer with lid on large pot.
• I sometimes add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to make it more soupy. You can eat this alone or over rice or sometimes I just add rice right into the pot while its cooking.
• Taste the broth it makes while cooking and adjust cumin salt and pepper to your liking.
• I also like to use a wok for this dish it just cooks well when I am making a large amount.
