Slow Cooker: Hungarian Style Goulash



Recipe and picture by myself

Ingredients:
2 lbs beef chunks for stew
flour
mustard (I used Dijon)
soy sauce (low sodium)
salt
pepper
paprika powder
cumin powder
ground cloves
2 small tubs of diced bell peppers (I bought the 3 colors already chopped in the grocery store)
1 small carton of sliced mushrooms
3 cloves garlic, mince them
3 onions, dice them
1 small can diced tomatoes
1 jar Sofrito (in my store it is in the Latin American food section)
1 beef bouillon tablet of Maggi
2 Bay leaves

So you take a big bowl, put in a handful of flower and season it with some salt, pepper, cumin, paprika powder. Then toss in the chunks of meat and make sure they all get coated in the flour.
Heat up a skillet and brown the meat in a mixture of olive oil and butter but make sure to do it in batches. If you add too much meat it won't brown.No need to cook it to perfection just brown it on both sides, transfer to a bowl until all meat is browned.Transfer the meat into the slow cooker. If you only have a slow cooker and no way to brown it first that's okay, just add the meat directly into the slow cooker.
Then fry up the bell peppers, mushrooms, bay leaves, onions, garlic and smother it for 5 minutes; again if you don't have a skillet just add straight into the slow cooker.
Then add the diced tomatoes, Sofrito, 2-3 table spoons of mustard, 2-3 table spoons of the spy sauce and last crunble the Maggi tablet over it all, give a good stir and transfrer all into the slow cooker. Or add it all in the slow cooker from the get go  
Let it cook for about 6 hours and you can serve it with rice, mashed potatoes, boilet potatoes whatever you like. I am going to make mashed potatoes later to have with it. Enjoy!!
