Crock Pot Red Wine Stew
Ingredients.
1 small package (1 lb or so) Beef stew pieces. I get the cheap kind, cause I cook it so long it just falls a part in your mouth!
5-6 small potatoes, peeled or not, diced.
1/2 an onion, diced
2 carrots, I don't peel mine, sliced.
1 can tomato paste
1 cup (or so) dryish red wine. I used some leftover Lemberger.
Flour and spices (Creole seasoning, garlic salt, salt and pepper) for dredging.
2-3 Beef bouillon cubes
A bit of butter
Directions.
Cover the bottom of crock pot with hot water and add 2 bouillon cubes.
Cut up potatoes and carrots and throw in crock pot.
Saute onion in butter.
Throw flour, spices and beef into a Ziploc bag and shake.
Toss beef into pan with onions, brown.
Pour a little red wine into pan when beef is just about done browning, sizzle.
Put browned beef into crock pot.
Add a bit (about half a cup) of red wine and one can tomato paste.
Add another beef bouillon if necessary.
Stir.
Cook on high for at least 8 hours. This gets the soup nice and thick and makes the meat SO TENDER! I make it in the morning after a cup of coffee...and let it cook all day.
Serve with Fun Buns (Pictured with soup. Recipe to follow!) and a nice glass (or two) of red wine.
The Creole seasoning gives this soup a nice bite! So beware.
