Surely many people know the dish called “beef with prunes”. At one time it was mega-popular among Soviet housewives, and even now, many years later, it has not lost its relevance.
Beef stew with prunes is a very tasty and simple dish; it can be prepared not only on the stove, but also in the simplest slow cooker, which has the “Frying” and “Stewing” modes. Today I will cook beef with prunes in exactly this way.
To prepare beef with prunes in a slow cooker, prepare the ingredients according to the list.
Ингредиенты
Beef (shoulder flesh) - 350 g
Carrots - 150 g
Onion - 150 g
Tomato paste - 60 g
Fresh prunes - 80 g
Refined vegetable oil - 50 g
Bay leaf - 2 pcs.
Paprika - 2 tsp.
Ground black pepper -1 tsp.
Salt - 2 tsp.
Garlic - 4 cloves
Рецепт
1. Cut the meat into cubes, the carrots into thin cubes, and the onion into half rings. Place everything in a multicooker bowl, add vegetable oil and tomato paste, stir. Turn on the "Fry" mode and cook with the lid open until the end of the cycle, for my multicooker this is 15 minutes.
2. After signaling the end of the program, add spices and salt to the meat and vegetables.
3. Also add washed prunes. If the prunes are large, you can cut the berries in half. Stir.
4. At the very end, add water or broth. There should be very little liquid so that it just covers the rest of the ingredients. In a standard 5 liter cup this is about 2 glasses. Close the multicooker lid and turn on the "Stew" mode. Typically this mode is 1 hour.
5. 10 minutes before readiness, add chopped garlic to the stew. If you wish, you can add a couple of tablespoons of flour fried until creamy. I usually add to thicken the stew, but this is optional. Close the lid and wait for the end of the program signal.
6. Beef with prunes cooked in a slow cooker is ready! Serve the dish hot with your favorite side dishes or fresh vegetables.
