Ingredients
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 lb beef, cut into 1-inch cubes (we recommend top sirloin, but any cut will do. Ask your butcher to remove fat and cut into cubes)

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cut red wine
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (approx. 2 cups)
5 medium carrots, cut into ½-inch rounds (approx. 3 cups)
2 medium potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups water (or your favorite broth. For a thicker sauce, use less liquid)
1 medium serrano chili, finely chopped (remove seeds for a milder spice)
sour cream or yogurt, to taste
¼ cup cilantro, finely chopped
Optional
