Slow Cooker Essentials Beef Paprika Stew Recipes

SLOW COOKER BEEF PAPRIKASH

Steps:

• Spread the onions in the bottom of an 8-cup slow cooker. Toss the beef with the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place on top of the onions. Top with the bell peppers and garlic. Stir together the broth, paprika, tomato paste and caraway and pour over the beef. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, either on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
• Uncover and let stand at least 10 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and dill and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over egg noodles or potatoes.

SLOW COOKER ESSENTIALS: BEEF PAPRIKA STEW

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• When cutting the carrots, at the thicker end I cut them into rounds about 1/2 inch (1.2cm) thick, and then slice into halfmoons. As the carrot tapers towards the end, I just leave them as rounds. Not only does that give some visual variety to the dish, but it also keeps the pieces bitesize.
• THE PAPRIKA There are a lot of different types of paprika on the market but there is one you want to avoid, and that is the smoked variety. I did try it and it overpowered the dish. For this recipe, I wound up using 1/2 hot and 1/2 sweet... brilliant.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• STAGE I
• Cut up the beef, thinly slice the onions, then place them into the bowl of your slow cooker and mix in the apple cider vinegar. Toss with the dry spices and let sit for about 20 minutes.
• STAGE II
• Add all the Stage II ingredients and mix to combine.
• Be sure to whisk the flour into the beef stock before adding.
• Set the slow cooker to low and cook for about 3.5 hours.
• While the stew is cooking, prep the veggies. After the allotted time, open the slow cooker and mix in the veggies.
• Seal and continue to cook, until the potatoes and carrots are cooked, and the meat tender, about an additional 2 - 2.5 hours.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve over rice, or egg noodles. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
