I have never heard a complaint of my beef stew, it’s 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 Sazon instead of salt and pepper, for even more Spanish style.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef stew meat
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 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
- 1/2 cup pitted and halved green olives
Directions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook beef in hot skillet until completely browned, about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer beef to a slow cooker, retaining some of the beef drippings in the skillet.
- Return skillet to heat and heat the retained drippings. Saute onion and garlic in hot drippings until softened, about 5 minutes; add to beef in slow cooker.
- Stir potatoes, diced tomatoes, sofrito, and olives into the beef mixture.
- Cook on Low until beef and potatoes are fork-tender, 4 to 5 hours.
