A heavy dose of paprika and searing the beef before placing it in the slow cooker bring loads of flavor to this rustic Eastern European stew.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs cubed beef stew meat
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 cups diced onions
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 ½ cups Nature's Promise Organic Low Sodium Chicken Broth, divided
- ¼ cup sweet paprika
Steps
- In a medium bowl, toss the cubed beef with the flour. Season with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the oil on medium-high. In batches, add beef and sear until browned on most sides, turning as needed.
- Meanwhile, remove seeds from the bell pepper and thinly slice. Cut the carrots into ½-inch chunks. Using a slotted spoon, transfer browned beef to a large slow cooker bowl.
- To same skillet, add the onions, carrots, and bell pepper. Cook 5–6 min., until golden, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook 1 min., stirring constantly. Add ½ cup broth, stirring and scraping up any browned bits from bottom of skillet. Transfer contents of skillet to slow cooker, along with remaining 1 cup broth and paprika.
- Cover with lid and cook 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low, until beef is very tender.
Skim off any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Tips
Serve over curly noodles or mashed potatoes.
