Beef goulash in a slow cooker with gravy

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make beef goulash in a slow cooker with gravy? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take any lean, boneless meat. You can replace tomato paste with chopped tomatoes in their own juice or with tomato ketchup. In addition to the above ingredients, you can add onion. I don’t add onions to the goulash, I make do with just carrots.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the beef, dry it and cut into medium cubes about 3 cm in size. I already had ready-made beef goulash from the pulp. Any pulp is suitable for goulash, the main thing is that it does not contain large, hard veins or cartilage. This could be shank, thigh meat, neck, tenderloin, etc.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the carrots and cut into circles or semicircles depending on the diameter. I don’t recommend grating carrots - they can become very boiled from simmering for a long time.

4. STEP 4

   

   Finely chop the garlic with a knife. If you want to add an onion, you need to chop it into small cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl and place the beef. Stir until all the meat is coated with oil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Set the “Frying” mode and time to 15 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Stirring occasionally, fry the meat until golden brown. All excess moisture should evaporate. Depending on the brand and model of the multicooker, more or less time may be required for frying. Therefore, focus on your multicooker. Read more about multicookers in the article at the end of the recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add carrots and garlic. Fry, stirring, all together for another 1-2 minutes. If you are going to add onions, add them at this stage along with carrots and garlic.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add tomato paste and simmer everything together for another 1-2 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour in 600 ml of water. If you want more gravy, add 150 ml more water.

11. STEP 11

    

    Simmer for 1 hour on the “Stew” mode. Again, rely on your multicooker. The heating intensity in this mode may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. My default is 90°C, so I set it to 95°C.

12. STEP 12

    

    Dissolve the flour in the remaining glass of water, breaking up any lumps. I advise you to first dilute the flour in a few tablespoons of water to avoid lumps, and then pour in the remaining water.

13. STEP 13

    

    Stirring constantly, pour the flour mixture into the beef. The gravy will immediately begin to thicken.

14. STEP 14

    

    Salt and pepper the goulash to taste and stir.

15. STEP 15

    

    Simmer everything together until the meat is soft for another 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

16. STEP 16

    

    Ready goulash with gravy can be served with any side dish. Bon appetit!

I made pork goulash for lunch following the recipe for beef goulash in a slow cooker with gravy. I cut the pork into pieces, put it in a multicooker bowl along with vegetable oil, cooked the meat in the “frying” mode for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. I really love onions, so I added them along with carrots and garlic to the meat. After a couple of minutes, I put the tomato paste into the bowl, stirred, poured water and, setting the “stew” mode, left the meat to simmer for one hour. Then I added salt and flour diluted in water to the meat, and simmered the meat for another 30 minutes. The aroma and taste of the meat are wonderful! The tomato sauce was rich and piquant, the carrots gave a pleasant sweetness, the goulash turned out great! Thank you very much!

The most tender meat, the most delicious gravy! Instead of dry paprika, I put 1/2 bell pepper after the carrots and fried it too, I made the sauce from sour cream and 1 cup of tomato puree (I prepare it from fresh tomatoes for the winter), since I don’t use tomato paste in cooking. THANK YOU, Angel, great recipe for beef goulash in a slow cooker!

Beef goulash in a slow cooker with gravy - the most tender juicy meat - you'll lick your fingers! Thanks to this kind of stewing, the meat turns out to be the most tender - it simply melts, the taste of goulash is unforgettable. Thanks for the recipe!
