Stewed potatoes with beef in a slow cooker.

Wash a piece of meat, dry it with a paper towel, cut into small cubes or cubes.

Put the meat in a bowl, pepper, add mustard, mix. Pour with vegetable oil, mix again and leave to marinate for 30 minutes (you can leave it for several hours). Mustard perfectly softens the meat, which does not harm the beef at all, and then the taste and smell of mustard is not felt in the finished dish. But it is important to take natural mustard of good quality, without adding flavors.

When the meat is marinated, we begin to stew the beef with potatoes in a slow cooker. Peel the onion, wash it, cut it into small cubes.

Wash carrots, peel and cut into quarters or half rings.

Turn the multicooker to the Fry mode for 30 minutes. After a few minutes, when the bowl has already warmed up a little, lay out the pieces of beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has almost evaporated and the meat begins to fry. If you want to spice up the dish with some spices, now is the time.

Add the bow. Simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

Now it's the turn of the carrots. We also cook for a few minutes, so that the carrots dim a little and reveal their aroma.

Well, if you decide to do it according to the instructions, I will be happy to help and I hope you will succeed tasty breakfast, lunch or dinner. First, lay out all the ingredients you need on the countertop and start with the meat. We rinse it under trickles of cold running water, dip it with paper kitchen towels, move it to a cutting board and use a sharp kitchen knife to get rid of veins, film, excess fat, as well as small bones that very often remain on the log house. After that, we cut the beef to a size of 2.5 to 3 centimeters and put them in a clean dish.

Then, using a clean knife, peel potatoes, garlic, two types of onions, carrots, and remove the stalk from sweet salad peppers and gut it from the seeds. We thoroughly rinse everything together with the tomatoes, dry it, take turns sending it to a new board and continue preparing. Grind the potatoes into slices of about 2–2.5 centimeters in size. We immediately throw them into a bowl of cold water and leave there until use, so as not to darken, and chop both types of onions into cubes up to 1 centimeter.

Sweet salad pepper and cut the tomato in the same way as the previous vegetable. Chop the carrots in rings, half rings, quarters up to 1 centimeter thick, and chop the garlic into small pieces of arbitrary shape 4 to 5 millimeters thick. Then, using a tablespoon, mix preferably sweet tomato juice, as well as purified water in a measuring glass, and move on.

Step 2: cook beef with potatoes in a slow cooker.

We insert the plug of the multicooker into the outlet, install a special bowl in its recess and pour a little vegetable, better refined oil into it. We include "Fry" mode for 40 minutes and send teflon dishes to the bottom onion... Without covering, pass it until soft for 5 minutes loosening occasionally with a wooden or silicone kitchen spatula. Then add carrots to the vegetable and fry them more 5 minutes... After that, put pieces of meat in the bowl and cook everything together. 15 minutes, for which the beef will change color from bright burgundy red to gray and begin to be covered with light golden brown... Then we send pieces of fresh sweet pepper and tomato to the multicooker. We fry vegetables with meat 5 minutes.

Then we throw potatoes to them and keep in the same mode for another 5-7 minutes, not forgetting to periodically stir the food. Then turn off the multicooker and fill everything with a mixture of water, and also tomato juice... Season the semi-finished dish to taste with salt, laurel leaf, close the technique with a tight-fitting lid, turn on the new mode "Stew" for 1 hour and wait.

As soon as the kitchen appliance turns off, notifying about the end of the program, we open it, add chopped garlic, black ground pepper, caraway seeds, paprika and dried dill to the already fragrant mass. Gently mix everything until a homogeneous consistency, cover again and cook in the same mode, that is "Quenching", but already 30 minutes.

When the multicooker stops working and turns off again, notifying about this with an appropriate signal, we let the beef and potatoes brew a little, that's enough 5-10 minutes and you can taste it!

Step 3: serve beef with potatoes in a slow cooker.

Sometimes this dish is made differently, the prepared ingredients are laid out in a multicooker bowl, poured with a tomato mixture, seasoned, covered and cooked in the "Stew" mode for 2.5 hours. The disadvantage of this method is that very often potatoes are cooked almost in mashed potatoes without preliminary frying, but this directly depends on the type of vegetable and the quality of the multicooker;

If after the first shutdown the meat and potatoes are already ready, then it is better to add spices, garlic and soak the dish in the "Stew" or "Heat" mode for no more than 10-15 minutes;

IN this recipe a fairly wide range of vegetables that ideally complement the aroma and taste of the dish, but if you wish, some of them can be omitted, for example, tomatoes or bell peppers, as well as garlic, the smell of which not everyone likes;

Very often, a mixture of tomato juice and water is replaced with an ordinary broth or vegetable broth. You can also put a little sour cream, cream or mayonnaise in it;

The set of spices depends only on your preferences, the main thing is that they are suitable for meat dishes.

How to cook beef stew with potatoes in a slow cooker (recipe with photo):

Choosing beef must be meticulous. Ideally, this is a moderately fat, whole piece of meat. Smooth pinkish color without dark spots and blotches. No unpleasant odor and bone fragments. And this kind of meat will also be excellent. Clean out the main ingredient, removing all unnecessary and "suspicious". Wash the beef and pat dry. Cut into small square pieces or oblong slices.
Pour a spoonful of odorless oil into the multicooker bowl. Do not close the cover. Select the "Fry" mode. If it is possible to set the temperature, set 130-140 degrees. Warm up the appliance. Place the beef slices and cook on one side for 2 minutes. Then turn over and brown the meat on the back.
Peel the onions. Grate on a coarse grater. Better yet, cut into several pieces and grind into a gruel with a blender. So potatoes stewed with beef in a slow cooker will be juicier.
Place the onion on top of the seared meat wedges. If you want a thinner dish, add some pure water. I cooked without liquid at all, in own juice... It turned out not dry, but without the beloved by many yushka. Neither stir, nor pepper, nor, moreover, salt is not necessary. Just close the multicooker bowl and change the mode to "Stew".
