Ingredients
- 2lb top round beef, cut into cubes (this is my favorite cut of beef for slow cooking, it's very lean, but becomes very tender with a great beefy flavor when slow cooked)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 jalapenos, ribs and seeds removed, diced
- 14oz can diced tomatoes (I used tuttorosso brand)
- 8oz can tomato sauce (I used tuttorosso brand)
- 2 Tablespoons ginger paste
- 3 Tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 and 1/4 Tablespoon Berbere spice blend
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon sugar (I used 3 small lumps yellow rock sugar, this is a non-traditional addition)
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil, or another high smoke point cooking oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat a slow cooker on sauté function or a pan on the stovetop along with a tablespoon of neutral cooking oil (I used avocado oil). Pat the beef dry, then add the beef cubes to the hot pan giving them a nice sear (don't disturb the cubes for at least 4-5 minutes after placing them in the pan to allow them to develop color and flavor). Season the cubes with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the beef cubes to the slow cooker along with all remaining ingredients. Cook on high for 4 hours. Enjoy!
