BEEF SHANK STEW A LA CROCK POT
I've been going through some old cook books, I keep finding the odd recipe or two. No! That's not true! With the number of bits of paper and 3x5 cards and items torn from magazines and newspapers it's no longer odd, it's normal. I almost have carpel tunnel syndrome from trying to enter them all into my PC. I am posting a few of the best. Enjoy. Please don't ask where they came from, I haven't the foggiest.

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.

This was the beef stew I grew up on. It's a great low-maintenance and delicious winter favorite! It makes excellent leftovers or next day's lunch, if it doesn't disappear before then! I have included a paleo diet alteration for this recipe in the footnotes.

CLASSIC BEEF STEW IN A CROCK POT
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.
