Funky Cholent image

Cholent is a Saturday lunch standard in many Jewish homes. Every family has their signature cholent. This recipe took me twelve years to perfect, and includes secrets I learned from ten different families. Cholent is meant to be experimented with. Some interesting additions you may want to try are soy sauce, honey, Mrs. Dash®, paprika, or left-over beef gravy.

Time 14h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound beef stew meat, cubed
5 large potatoes, cubed
1 sweet potato, cubed
1 (16 ounce) can baked beans
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons dry onion soup mix
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1 teaspoon steak seasoning
½ cup pearl barley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the beef stew meat, and quickly brown the pieces on all sides. Stir in the potatoes, sweet potato, baked beans, ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard, onion soup mix, seasoned salt, and steak seasoning, and pour in enough water to cover. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook on low heat until the beef is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the pearl barley, and transfer the stew to a slow cooker set on Low until the barley is tender, about 12 hours.

This cholent was a great way to use up some leftover chicken. It was easy to make and the results were delicious.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cholent turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This cholent was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly but my cholent didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The meat was tough and the flavors were bland.

The cholent was good, but I found it to be a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This cholent was a hit at my Shabbat dinner! The meat was fall-apart tender and the flavors were incredible. I especially loved the smoky paprika and the hint of cinnamon.
