Comes from /crockpotbeefstew.shtml Submitted there by Lisa C. My family raves about this & it is very simple & easy. Ingredients:
2 lbs stewing beef |
1/4 cup flour |
1 teaspoon paprika |
4 large carrots |
3 large potatoes |
1 cup condensed beef broth |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup soy sauce |
1 large onion |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
Directions:
1. Layer potatoes, then carrots. Top with meat; sprinkle meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper and flour. Spread with chopped onions. Combine beef broth and tomato sauce; pour overall.
2. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or on high 4-5. (I have found that I usually have to put this on high for about 6-7 hours, not sure if it is just my crock pot).
3. Notes:.
4. Instead of sprinkling the meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper and flour as the recipe says, I mix those all together in a bowl. This prevents the flour from becoming clumpy.
5. Instead of chopped onion I use some of the small white boiling onions. I don't like onions but my husband does; these stay together pretty well and are easy for me to avoid.
6. I tend to use baby carrots, I just find them easier to cut and don't have to peel them.
7. I also like to add a couple dashes of cayenne pepper, it adds a zing.
8. For the beef broth (I don't usually keep that on hand) I dissolve 1 beef bouillon cube into 1 cup boiling water.
9. Lisa wrote that she sometimes will add about a 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce on the very top before she puts the cover on. Any variety, she says that adds an extra kick.
