Stew meat and the crock pot- NO BEEF STEW RECIPES!!!?!
Answers: I have 2lbs of beautiful stew meat that I would like to slow cook in the crock pot, but I don't have any recipes other than those for beef stew, which I am completely tired of! Any recipes would be greatly appreciated!
Beef Tips and Gravy
I first make sure I have all the meat cut in chunks the same size.
I flour mine in seasoned flour and pan fry them to lock in the juices of the meat. I only fry them in enough oil to slightly cover the meat and all sides. Not completely done.
I transfer my meat to a slow cooker as I fry them up and after I have fried all the meat chunks I make a gravy with the remaining oil and seasoned flour. Salt and pepper to taste.
I pour my gravy mixture over my meat and add chicken stock to this to make a thin gravy base to cover all the meat in the crock pot.
I let this cook all day. The longer your stew meat cooks the more tender.
I serve this over rice or noodles with sweet peas on the side and flaky dinner rolls.
If you wanted to make a stroganoff out of this you could add a pint of sour cream and mix it in as well.
For an asian night, I put my stew meat, one sliced onion and bell pepper (or two, just your preference). Throw in 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp veggie oil, 1 tbsp crushed garlic, a few dashes worcheshire (sorry spelling). When you get home, mix in a bit of cornstarch to thicken it. Serve with some fried rice.
Pour some BBQ sauce in there and have BBQ. Great from the crockpot.
You could also use the meat to make a stroganoff(sp) like dish.
Quick and easy way, slow cook the meat [add water and spices and then when you come home, add a can of cream mushroom soup and can of cream chicken or other and add noodles, let cook a little longer and done.
You could also find a REAL stroganoff receipe.
good luck!
dredge meat in seasoned flour and sear in olive oil in a skillet. when seared on all sides, remove meat and add to pre-heated crock pot.
back to the skillet, leave heat on medium high and add one cup of red wine, stir and scrape to get all the goodies- the yum-yums off the bottom. when finished pour that mixture over the meat in the crock pot. add salt, pepper, oregano, greek seasoning, worcestershire sauce, chopped garlic, about a cup of chicken or beef stock, and a little more wine.
cook for about eight hours.
serve over rice.
This is just about the simplest recipe I have ever seen - no measuring or prep work - and the beef is very tasty and tender when done. Serve with your favorite potatoes or rice and a veggie for a delicious meal.
I love to make shredded beef for tacos with stew meat, it turns out great.
Combine your meat with:
1 can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1 can diced roasted chili's (such as Ortega's)
1 yellow onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic
1 jalapeno minced
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 tablespoon of chili powder
salt & pepper
Place in crock-pot cook on low for 6-8 hours. Use a fork to break the meat up some. Serve with warm tortilla's, lettuce, cilantro, cheese, salsa, sourcream,and guacamole.
