Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs stewing beef cut into small cubes
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- 1 cup onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes canned
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum optional
Instructions
- Fry the bacon in a skillet and remove most of the fat – save it for browning the beef.
- Add the onions and garlic to the bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes more until the bacon is crispy and the onions are soft. Scrape all this into the slow cooker.
- Working in batches and using the remaining bacon fat – adding oil if you run out of fat – season the beef cubes and sear them in the fat. 2-3 minutes per side until nice and brown but not fully cooked. Put the beef into the slow cooker.
- When you've finished searing the beef, toast the spices in the same skillet. Just put the spices in the skillet and stir them around over medium heat until fragrant.
- Add 1/2 cup of beef stock to the skillet to deglaze the pan. Pour all of this into the slow cooker.
- Add the remaining ingredients – the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, and any leftover pan juices or bacon fat to the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for about 4 hours, or on low for 6.
- When the meat is tender, season with salt and pepper and thicken with 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before adding up to 1/4 tsp more.
