Ingredients

  • 800 g diced beef
  • 500 g passata
  • 2 medium red onions sliced
  • 1 green pepper sliced
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 100 g smoked chorizo roughly half a chorizo ring, sliced
  • 100 ml boiling water
  • 1 beef stock cube
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp cornflour for thickening, if needed

Instructions

  • Place your sliced red onions in the base of the slow cooker pot.
    2 medium red onions
  • Brown the diced beef in a medium hot pan (dry fry, without oil), in two batches. Place it in the slow cooker and add the sliced peppers and crushed garlic.
    800 g diced beef, 1 green pepper, 1 red pepper, 2 cloves garlic
  • Fry the chorizo gently in the same pan you used to brown the beef. No oil is needed as the chorizo will produce some as you cook it.
    100 g smoked chorizo
  • Add the chorizo, passata, and stock cube dissolved in the boiling water and smoked paprika to the slow cooker and combine all the ingredients by mixing with a spoon.
    500 g passata, 100 ml boiling water, 1 beef stock cube, 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Serve garnished with chopped parsley or coriander, and serve with rice, mash or pasta and crusty bread.
  • Check the stew one hour before the end of cooking, and if the sauce needs thickening, make a paste using a tablespoon of cornflour and a little water, then stir it into the slow cooker pot. Allow it to cook for the remaining time, and it will thicken up.
    1 tbsp cornflour
