Carne guisada means “stewed meat” while carne asada means “roast meat.” This is pretty confusing, because while carne guisada is, in fact, stewed meat, carne asada is actually grilled. Also, carne guisada is made from beef roast–the cheaper the cut, the better–and carne asada is made from skirt steak. I love both–check out my recipe for Carne Asada Made with Juicy Skirt Steak + the BEST Mojo Marinade!
