Time 7h40m

Yield 12 ladels full, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs stewing beef
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon paprika
4 large carrots
3 large potatoes
1 cup condensed beef broth
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 large onion
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Steps:

  • Layer potatoes, then carrots. Top with meat; sprinkle meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper and flour. Spread with chopped onions. Combine beef broth and tomato sauce; pour overall.
  • Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or on high 4-5. (I have found that I usually have to put this on high for about 6-7 hours, not sure if it is just my crock pot).
  • Notes:.
  • Instead of sprinkling the meat with soy sauce, salt, paprika, pepper and flour as the recipe says, I mix those all together in a bowl. This prevents the flour from becoming clumpy.
  • Instead of chopped onion I use some of the small white boiling onions. I don't like onions but my husband does; these stay together pretty well and are easy for me to avoid.
  • I tend to use baby carrots, I just find them easier to cut and don't have to peel them.
  • I also like to add a couple dashes of cayenne pepper, it adds a zing.
  • For the beef broth (I don't usually keep that on hand) I dissolve 1 beef bouillon cube into 1 cup boiling water.
  • Lisa wrote that she sometimes will add about a 1/4 cup of BBQ sauce on the very top before she puts the cover on. Any variety, she says that adds an extra kick.
