For a richer flavor, consider browning the beef in a separate pan before adding it to the sauce.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the stew, such as carrots, bell peppers, or olives, for added depth and nutrition.
If you don't have sofrito on hand, you can substitute it with a blend of finely chopped onions, garlic, bell peppers, and cilantro.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce.
This Carne Guisada tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had more time to meld together.
