Steps:

  • Par-boil the carrots in boiling water for about 3 -5 minutes. 2 Preheat the electric Tagine or crock pot to High. 3 Heat up half of the olive oil in a large frying pan and quickly brown the onion quarters over a fairly high heat until charred & coloured well. Tip them into the crock pot. 4 Add the chopped garlic & par-boiled carrots to the onions in the crock pot. 5 Make up 1/2 pint of stock with a beef stock cube. Add the honey to the the stock & ALL the dried spices. Tip the honey & spiced stock into the crock pot & mix well. Add the cinnamon stick. 6 Add the tinned tomatoes, dates & prunes to the crock pot - mix well. 7 Heat up the remaining olive oil and brown the beef cubes in small batches to sear & seal them. As you finish browning them, add the beef to the crock pot. 8 When you have finished browning all the beef, give the whole mixture a good stir & season with salt & pepper. 9 Cook on high for between 6 & 10 hours depending on your crock pot's wattage & settings. 10 Serve the beef tagine with fluffy couscous and garnish with the chopped fresh coriander & toasted flaked almonds. It also works well with rice too. 11 P.S. Watch out for the cinnamon stick! We sometimes award the lucky winner of the cinnamon stick with an extra glass of wine! 12 P.P.S. You can use dates & prunes which have not been pitted, they do tend to hold their shape better too, just warn your guests that they must look out for the stones!

CROCK POT BEEF MARRAKESH



Crock Pot Beef Marrakesh image

Absolutely beautiful tagine (slow cooked) beef with fragrant Moroccan spices, sultanas and apricots. If you don't usually stock these spices, make the effort to get them, definitely a family favourite for all ages in our home. The original recipe calls for 4 teas garlic, I prefer one, to allow the apricotty sweetness to remain. Personally I think it would be a pity to not include the sultanas or dried apricots as it adds visual interest, texture and definitely flavour! Can be served with couscous and roasted capsicum, garnish with toasted almonds if liked. This recipe comes from the Family Health Network, Australia.

Categories     Stew

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 kg stewing beef, lean, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, sliced
1 teaspoon garlic, crushed (or to taste)
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup sultana
1 cup apricot nectar
1 cup beef stock
dried apricot (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a little oil in deep sided pan on high, fry onion until browned. Remove and put aside.
  • Heat a little more oil on high, brown beef in small batches, removing each batch before adding the next.
  • Toss into crock pot beef, onion, and remaining ingredients, stir to combine. I like to include a cup of dried apricots.
  • Cook on low all day, 8 to 10 hours until fork tender. Season to taste. Serve over rice or with couscous and veggies. Savour!

Tips:

  • If you're using a slow cooker with a removable crock, brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help develop the flavor of the beef and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Be sure to trim any excess fat from the beef before cooking. This will help reduce the amount of grease in the dish.
  • Add the vegetables to the slow cooker in order of their cooking time. Harder vegetables, such as carrots and potatoes, should be added first, followed by softer vegetables, such as zucchini and tomatoes.
  • If you're using a slow cooker without a removable crock, be sure to line the crock with a slow cooker liner before adding the ingredients. This will make cleanup much easier.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

This crock pot beef Marrakesh is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beef is cooked in a slow cooker with a variety of vegetables and spices, resulting in a tender and delicious dish. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
