This simple recipe, which uses inexpensive beef stew meat, garnered our highest rating for great flavor and versatility. To freeze the carnitas, wrap them tightly in heavy-duty plastic wrap or foil, and place in a zip-top plastic freezer bag; they will keep in the freezer for up to three months. Ingredients:

3 garlic cloves, crushed |
2 pounds beef stew meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces |
1 cup less-sodium beef broth |
1 teaspoon sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
