Stewed potatoes with meat in a slow cooker

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to put out potatoes with meat in a slow cooker? Prepare the products according to the list. Wash the vegetables and dry them with paper towels. Peel the husks from the onion. Instead of tomato paste, you can take tomatoes in their own juice or fresh, crushed with a blender until smooth. Also, choose any dry spices to your taste. I have only pepper, salt and lavrushka here.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the meat well with cold water, and then dry it with paper towels. Cut off, if necessary, all the excess. Then cut the meat into medium pieces, about 3 cm. Cut off excess fat too.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the slow cooker on the frying mode. I have an old model, so I use baking mode. I put 20 minutes. You focus on your technique. Pour vegetable oil into the bowl of the slow cooker. Wait about 3-5 minutes for the oil to warm up. Then put the chopped meat in a bowl.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fry the meat with the lid open for about 3-5 minutes, turning the pieces so that it is fried on all sides. This way we seal the meat juice inside, and the meat remains soft.

5. Step 5:

   

   While the meat is being fried, prepare the vegetables. Peel the onion and carrot. Cut the onion into cubes, grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add the chopped vegetables to the meat when it completely changes color. Continue frying, but with the lid closed.

8. Step 7:

   

   Meanwhile, wash and peel the potatoes. Then cut it into cubes of the same size as the meat.

9. Step 8:

   

   When the frying program is finished, add tomato paste to the bowl of the slow cooker.

10. Step 9:

    

    Next, put the potatoes in the slow cooker. Add salt and pepper, mix everything well. Pour hot water over the meat and potatoes. We do this so that the cooking process is not interrupted, because cold water can make the meat hard. Water should be poured so that it almost covers the meat, but not completely, otherwise the finished roast will turn out liquid.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put a bay leaf in the stew. Put the slow cooker on the quenching mode. I put 1.5 hours. You focus on your slow cooker. After completing the program, you can leave the slow cooker in the heating mode so that the meat is additionally thawed, so it will be even tastier. Bon appetit!
