Green Chile Beef and Potatoes

During Hispanic Heritage Month, I enjoy preparing dishes learned from Mom. This simple guisado (stew) of green chile beef and potatoes prepared with beef hind shank, is just one of the many recipes my family enjoys. To keep the the traditions going become a mentor to the younger generation in your family. Teach them the family recipes that have been shared over and over with lots of love.
