Hi girls

Thought I would share one of my favourite slow cooker recipes :

Beef Goulash

approx 500g stewing steak

2 tbsp seasoned flour

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 or 2 large onions chopped

1 pepper (green or red) deseeded and sliced

150ml beef stock (I just use a stock cube)

400g can of chopped tomatoes

2 tsp paprika

2 tbsp tomato puree

1 bouquet garni

salt and pepper to taste

Optional - 140 ml soured cream or natural yoghurt to serve ( I dont add this)

Method :

Coat the meat in the seasoned flour

In a large non stick frying pan , heat the oil and fry the steak till lightly browned

Add the onion and pepper and cook for a further 2 minutes

Add the stock, tomatoes, paprika, tomato puree and bouquet garni , season to taste (I find it doesnt need any salt added). Bring to the boil.

Add the goulash mixture to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours

To serve , pour soured cream or yoghurt over the goulash.

We usually have this with mashed potatoes , carrots and a green veg or two ! Its very yummy !!
