SLOW COOKER GOULASH
4 to 5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced large
splash vegetable or olive oil
250 g lean beef stewing steak
5 medium onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
salt and pepper to taste
1 good squirt tomato puree
20 g paprika
450 ml (3/4 pint) hot water to cover ingredients in pot
200 g pasta of your choice
Begin by turning slow cooker onto the ‘low setting’. Place the potatoes in the bottom and replace the lid whilst preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Heat oil in a frying pan and sear the beef. When browned well add to the slow cooker.
In the same pan, add the onions and add more oil if necessary. Sweat down the onions until they take on some colour, add the garlic and stir for a few seconds then add to the slow cooker to join the meat and potatoes.
Add the tomato puree, seasoning and paprika to the slow cooker. Boil the kettle and pour into the frying pan to scrape up any meat and onion juices. Pour into the slow cooker. Stir well and cook on low for a minimum of 6 hours – have cooked this for 10 hours and has been wonderful. Stir occasionally.
