Beef Stew ala Crock Pot

The original recipe for this beef stew is called Oven Braised Beef Stew but I have adapted it for a crock pot and made a couple other changes. Although I have a dutch oven, I find it’s a little harder to clean and I didn’t feel like dealing with that today. The crock pot, on the other hand, is quite an easy thing to clean.

I made a guacamole sauce to go on top of this stew which made it turn out all the more wonderful.

Here are the ingredients (minus the meat and salt) …

It’s quite easy to put together.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup Chunky Salsa (this is different than the original recipe which used Double Roasted Salsa — I like a more mild flavor)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fish Sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped Cilantro

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the beef, chili powder, and salt.
  2. Add the beef mixture to a crock pot.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the top of the beef in the crock pot (the order doesn’t matter).
  4. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for approximately 4 hours.
  5. Check to make sure your meat is fully cooked before serving.

See how simple it is? I served the stew on a bed of rice with guacamole on top and steamed broccoli and brussels  sprouts. Quite delicious!
