INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 pounds of beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 small potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into strips
• 1 1/2 cups lower-sodium beef broth
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp light butter
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp granulated stevia
• 1 tsp salt
• 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp caraway seed
• 1/4 tsp dried marjoram

 

PREPARATION

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until soft. Add beef and cook until browned.

• Spray slow cooker (I used a 6-quart) with non-stick cooking spray. Add beef mixture and ALL remaining ingredients. Give it a good stir to mix well.

• Cover with lid and cook on low heat setting for 8 to 10 hours, or high heat setting for 5 to 6 hours. That’s it! Just serve… and enjoy!
