This Portuguese-inspired dish combines tender braised steak with savory onions and aromatic spices for a comforting meal that's perfect for any occasion. The slow cooker method ensures that the flavors meld together beautifully, resulting in a dish that's rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients: 1.5 kg beef steak, sliced into strips. 4 large onions, thinly sliced. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2 bay leaves. 1 tsp paprika. 1/2 tsp ground cumin. 1/2 tsp dried oregano. 1/2 tsp dried thyme. 1/2 cup red wine. 1/4 cup tomato paste. 1 cup beef broth. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tbsp olive oil.
Instructions: Put olive oil in a pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Brown the beef strips all over in a pan, then put them in the slow cooker. Add the onions and garlic to the same pan and cook them until they get soft. Season with salt and pepper and then add the paprika, cumin, oregano, thyme, and bay leaves. Add the red wine and stir it in, making sure to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Mix the tomato paste and beef broth together by stirring them in. Add the mix to the slow cooker with the beef strips. On low heat, cover and cook for 6 to 8 hours, or until the beef is soft. If you want, you can serve it hot with fresh parsley on top.
