Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound small white potatoes, halved
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, halved
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

BEEF STEW/ CHOLENT FOR CROCK POT



Beef Stew/ Cholent for Crock Pot image

I worked on my stew recipe for several years before I perfected it to what it is today! Every time I serve this for Shabbat lunch, it's completely devoured. It's ultra simple and always comes out great. If you're making this for shabbos, cook it fully Friday afternoon and keep the crockpot on the "warm" setting until serving. You can also make the recipe by substituting one can of chicken stock with a can of beer.

CLASSIC BEEF STEW IN A CROCK POT



Classic Beef Stew in a Crock Pot image

This is the best beef stew I've ever made. It tastes great with a crunchy loaf of bread. I got this recipe from Real Simple (March 2004 edition). You'll need a 4 to 6 quart slow cooker. Browning the beef adds more flavor.

Provided by Mrs.Habu

Categories     Stew

Time 4h35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs bottom round steaks, well trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup olive oil
2 large onions, diced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
2 large potatoes, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 lb baby carrots
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

Steps:

  • Put the flour in a large Ziploc bag.
  • Add the beef and seal.
  • Toss to lightly coat the beef.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the meat in small batches, adding more oil as necessary.
  • Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Add the onions to the skillet and cook over medium heat until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste and coat the onions then transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Pour the wine into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits and then add to the slow cooker.
  • Stir in the potatoes, carrots, broth, salt, thyme, and bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 7 1/2 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  • Add the peas and heat through before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef for your stew. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options. They are tough cuts of meat that become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before cooking it in the stew. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Add some herbs and spices to your stew. This will help to give it a unique flavor.
  • Cook the stew on low heat for a long period of time. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious beef stew that your family and friends will love.
