Creamy Tomato Beef Stew
Delicious and easy to make Creamy Beef Stew.

This Creamy Beef Stew is a staple in our household.

These Creamy Tomato Beef Stew Cubes will be a great addition to my freezer meal components and will be a great side for rice, quinoa, potatoes, grits or iSitshwala/ Sadza. A Zimbabwean side, which I can best describe as a thick porridge

Directions

Cook defrosted, 1 inch cubed beef in a slow cooker for 3 hours on high heat

Drain the beef cubes from the broth and fry them in a heat saucepan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until slighted brown.

Remove the beef cubes from the saucepan and place aside

Sauté sliced onions and garlic in the same pan until the onion is soft

Add diced tomatoes, proportionate to your beef and let it simmer until the tomatoes have cooked down

Add the saved broth from the slow cooker and simmer for about 5 minutes

Add a flour or corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce to your desired consistency

Add a generous dollop of sour cream and mix well

Add the fried beef cubes and let the flavours develop

Season to desired taste

The stew is ready to serve or freeze

At this point I added the cooked stew into cubes, cooled then froze them to be used as part of my freezer meal component prep
