How to Make Beef And Butternut Tagine Crockpot Paleo
- Cube 1.5 lbs beef stew meat into 1-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 tsp salt.
- Pour the spice mixture and 2 tbsp olive oil over the beef. Toss to thoroughly coat.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add 1 large chopped onion and 4 cloves minced garlic.
- Pour in 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Add 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (about 3 cups). Increase the heat to high.
- Cook for 60-90 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and crushed red pepper, as needed.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro before serving. Serve in bowls garnished with extra cilantro (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
