Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chuck roast Trimmed of fat and cut into 1.5 inch cubes
- 1.5 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon Oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter Unsalted
- 1 Onion Large, Finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic Finely minced
- 1.5 teaspoon Caraway seeds Can be roughly ground for a more intense flavor, which I highly recommend
- 1 teaspoon Ginger powder
- ¼ cup Hungarian paprika
- 2-3 cups Beef broth Low sodium, Start with 2 cups and add more if necessary
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoon Tomato paste
- Salt To taste
- Pepper To taste
- 2 Potatoes Medium size, Cut into 2 inch cubes
- 2 Carrots Medium size, Washed, Peeled, Diced into 2 inch pieces, I omitted them this time
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoon Cornstarch Dissolved in ¼ cup liquid/ juices from crockpot
Instructions
- In a Ziploc bag, add the roast cubes and flour. Seal bag and toss until meat is fully coated.
- Heat half the butter and half the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the floured meat and cook until lightly browned.
- Transfer meat to large crockpot (6.5 quart or larger).
- Heat remaining butter and oil in the same nonstick pan.
- Add onion, garlic, caraway seeds, ginger powder, paprika and saute until onion is partially softened and garlic plus caraway seeds are fragrant.
- Transfer this mixture to crockpot too.
- Add broth, red wine vinegar, tomato paste, salt, pepper, potatoes, carrots, bay leaf.
- Mix until combined.
- Cover and cook on High heat for 4-5 hours or on Low heat for 6-7 hours, or until meat and vegetables are tender.
- In the final 30 minutes of cooking, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing together cornstarch and liquid/juices from crockpot in a small bowl.
- Pour this slurry in the crockpot, while gently stirring so as to not break the potatoes and carrots.
- Continue cooking uncovered until sauce is slightly thickened.
- Discard bay leaf and garnish with roughly chopped fresh parsley (if you like). Enjoy!
Notes
- Read all my tips above.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days reheated in the microwave.
