Slow Cooked Lemon Paprika Beef Recipes

Steps:

• Spread the onions in the bottom of an 8-cup slow cooker. Toss the beef with the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place on top of the onions. Top with the bell peppers and garlic. Stir together the broth, paprika, tomato paste and caraway and pour over the beef. Cover and cook until the meat is very tender, either on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours.
• Uncover and let stand at least 10 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and dill and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over egg noodles or potatoes.

Steps:

• Process seeds and bay leaves in a small processor or spice grinder until a medium fine mixture forms. (Fairly fine but still with a few lumpy bits). Season with salt and pepper. Stir in paprika.
• Rub beef with olive oil and coat with spice mixture. Cover and put in the fridge for 2-3hrs. (You could use the beef straight away but we like to let the flavours penetrate.) Remove beef from fridge about 1/2hr before cooking to let it warm up.
• Preheat oven to 200deg C (fan forced).
• Put beef in oven in a baking dish that you can cover with a lid.
• After 20 mins drop oven temperature to 140degC and cover beef. Cook for 3hours. After about 1hr we usually add ~1 cup water to the pan and turn the meat. Check again at 2hrs, turn and baste meat and add more water if necessary.
• After cooking time remove roast from pan, wrap in foil and rest for ~1/2 hour before carving.
• To make Chilli Sauce put all ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Best done early so it has time for the dried herbs to infuse and absorb some moisture.
• Slice beef and drizzle with chilli sauce.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions until they soften and begin to brown at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker. Cover and set cooker to Low.
• Mix together paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss the meat cubes in the paprika mixture until evenly coated.
• Heat one tablespoon of the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Put a third of the beef cubes into the skillet and cook until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker. Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet and scrape the browned bits from the pan; pour liquid into the slow cooker. This prevents the paprika from burning when you brown the next batches of beef. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook the next batch the same way; repeat for the third batch.
• Stir the tomato paste and the rest of the water into the slow cooker; cover. Cook on High for 4 to 5 hours (or on Low for 6 to 9 hours).
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the egg noodles, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Serve goulash over noodles with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of parsley.
