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.

Steps:

Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender and easy to pull apart, 8 hours.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the red onion. Bring the vinegar, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the red onion, submerging the slices. Let cool, then transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Remove the meat to a plate and shred into bite-size chunks with 2 forks, discarding any large pieces of fat. Skim off any excess fat from the remaining stew in the slow cooker. Stir the meat back into the stew and season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Top with the chopped cilantro leaves. Drain the pickled red onion and serve with the stew.

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.
