SLOW COOKER SPANISH BEEF STEW
I have never heard a complaint of my beef stew, it's a great new take on an old favorite! I prefer to serve stew over white rice, it all depends on your taste. You can season the beef with a packet of Sazon instead of salt and pepper, for even more Spanish style.

CROCK POT SPANISH INSPIRED BEEF STEW
A hearty beef stew begging to warm you up on a cold night. The recipe is an original from my kitchen inspired by some Spanish ingredients such as smoked paprika and dry sherry. I think this is best served with crusty bread and a salad. Oh, and I'm not saying this is authentic but it is good!Please make sure you use a large crockpot.

Steps:
- Prep all vegetables: onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes and turnips. Set aside.
- Trim meat of all visible fat and cut into 1 inch cubes.
- Season meat with kosher salt and pepper.
- Dredge meat in flour shaking all excess flour off. I use a plastic baggy to do this and make less of a mess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat.
- Once the oil is hot enough add meat and brown on all sides. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.You do not want to cook the meat all the way through, just brown the meat.
- Remove meat from skillet and set aside.
- Add dry sherry to the pan picking up any of the browned pieces and reducing the liquid to one half.
- Add the beef broth. Allow the liquid to come to a boil an simmer for about 3 minutes.
- Turn heat off and add tomatoes paste and whisk until the liquid is smooth.
- Add smoked paprika and stir so it's completely incorporated into the tomato/broth mixture.
- Add onions,garlic, turnips, potatoes, carrots and meat to the crockpot.
- Pour tomato broth over the meat and vegetables.
- Add thyme and parsley sprigs and mix through the stew.
- Set crockpot on low and cook for 8-9 hours or until meat is very tender.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, if needed, when the stew is done.
Tips:
- For best results, use a good quality beef chuck roast. Look for one with good marbling, as this will help to keep the beef moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Brown the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop the beef's flavor and give the stew a richer color.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
- Add a flavorful liquid to the slow cooker. This could be beef broth, chicken broth, or even water. You can also add some red wine or beer for extra flavor.
- Season the stew to taste. This could include adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices that you like.
- Cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. This will give the beef time to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the stew over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
