Description

I have never heard a complaint about my beef stew. This Spanish slow cooker version is a great new take on an old favorite! I prefer to serve stew over white rice, it all depends on your taste. You can season the beef with a packet of Sazón instead of salt and pepper, for even more Spanish style.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef stew meat
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup chopped spanish onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chopped red potatoes
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar sofrito
  • ½ cup pitted and halved green olives

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef; cook until completely browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; transfer to a slow cooker, retaining some drippings in the skillet.
  2. Heat drippings in skillet; add onion and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes; add to slow cooker.
  3. Stir potatoes, diced tomatoes, sofrito, and olives into beef mixture.
  4. Cook on Low until beef and potatoes fork-tender, 4 to 5 hours.
