Beef is a valued but more expensive protein in Guatemala. Common cuts include bistec (thin steaks for grilling), carne para guisar (stew meat), and hueso con carne (bone-in cuts for soups). Hilachas (shredded beef in tomato sauce) is a beloved traditional dish. Cattle ranching is concentrated in Peten and the Pacific lowlands, with prices higher in highland areas.
