Slow Cooker Stroganoff
(that's a crockpot to the foreigners).
Made this one today and simmered it while working at home. Came out great. About 3-4 decent servings.
Ingredients :
1lb (400-500g) of lean stewing/casserole beef
3 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp paprika (spanish smoked if possible)
a little olive oil
salt and pepper
1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
3 large mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup red wine
400g tin chopped tomatoes
3 tbsp tomato puree
1 beef stock cube dissolved in a little boiling water
pasta noodles / tagliatelle to serve.
1 cup sour cream (unhealthy!) or 1 cup buttermilk (healthy but not so rich).
Cut beef into small chunks.
Put flour, paprika, salt and pepper into a bag, add beef and shake until coated.
Heat oil in a pan, and fry floured beef on a medium heat until it is browned all over (doesn't matter if it's still raw inside). Remove beef and put into crockpot/slow cooker set on high.
Deglaze pan with the wine, and fry onions and garlic until soft.
Add chopped tomatoes, stock cube, tomato puree and bring to a boil.
Mix into the beef in the crockpot and leave on high for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
20 mins before serving, turn off heat and stir in sour cream/buttermilk.
Boil tagliatelle (pasta noodles) and place on plate, sprinkled with a little paprika, and ladle the stroganoff.
Enjoy!
