Hungarian Beef Stroganoff for the Slow Cooker image

I know, I know, crock pot recipes are supposed to be throw the stuff in, come back later it is done. Trust me though, the prep work in the beginning pays off big time. I serve this over hot buttered pappardelle (egg noodles). This is also good without the sour cream/flour mixture. Adapted from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook.

Time 6h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 lbs lean stewing beef, cut in 1 . 5-inch chunks and patted dry
2 medium red onions, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, cut in half & then in 1/2-inch strips
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika, high quality
4 cups beef broth
1/8 teaspoon marjoram, dried
1/4 teaspoon caraway seed, crushed with a mortar & pestle
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, peeled & stuck on toothpicks
1 1/2 cups low-fat sour cream
1/4 cup flour
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • In a very large skillet, heat 1.5 tbsp oil.
  • When very hot, add the beef and brown on all sides, 3-4 minutes total.
  • Put the meat in the slow cooker.
  • Add the remaining oil (1.5 tbsp), and when warmed add the onions and peppers.
  • Brown slightly, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).
  • Stir in the mushrooms, and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the paprika.
  • Add the broth and bring to a boil.
  • Scrape the sides & bottom of the pan to release any browned on bits.
  • Pour this mixture in the slow cooker.
  • Add the tomato paste, marjoram, and caraway seeds to the cooker.
  • Stir to combine.
  • Add the garlic and submerge.
  • Cover and cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours, I like to go closer to 8 hours to develop the flavors more.
  • Prior to serving, remove and discard the garlic.
  • Combine the flour and sour cream, then stir into the meat mixture.
  • Serve over buttered noodles.
