CROCK POT SPANISH INSPIRED BEEF STEW



Crock Pot Spanish Inspired Beef Stew image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs stewing beef, trimmed of all fat
1 large onion, quartered
3 medium garlic cloves, cut lenght wise
2 large carrots, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 cups of diced turnips or 2 cups rutabagas
2 medium white potatoes, diced
3 ounces tomato paste
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 1/4 cups beef stock
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup flour (for dredging,discard extra)
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon thyme
3 -4 parsley sprigs
kosher salt
pepper

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.

SLOW COOKER SPANISH BEEF STEW

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
3 carrots, halved and cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
½ pack thyme
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 beef stock cubes or stock pots
900g beef for braising such as skirt, buy a whole piece and cut it yourself for bigger chunks or buy ready-diced
2 tsp cornflour (optional)
½ small bunch parsley, chopped
buttery mash, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Fry the onion and celery in 1 tbsp oil over a low heat until they start to soften - about 5 mins. Add the carrots, bay and thyme, fry for 2 mins, stir in the purée and Worcestershire sauce, add 600ml boiling water, stir and tip everything into a slow cooker. Crumble over the stock cubes or add the stock pots and stir, then season with pepper (don't add salt as the stock may be salty).
  • Clean out the frying pan and fry the beef in the remaining oil in batches until it is well browned, then tip each batch into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or on high for 4 hrs.
  • If you want to thicken the gravy, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to make a paste, then stir in 2 tbsp of the liquid from the slow cooker. Tip back into the slow cooker, stir and cook for a further 30 mins on high. Stir in the parsley and season again to taste. Serve with mash, if you like. Leave to cool before freezing.

Beef stew is seasoned with smoked paprika, onions, garlic, and green olives. Made without potatoes, this is a great recipe to serve with simple steamed rice or even mashed potatoes, if you like. It's a stovetop recipe, so heating the oven is not needed.
