(Pronouced
SOW-een): Samhain is a Gaelic word meaning Summers End.
They
used to say the end of summer is a time when the veil between the
spirit world and the earthly realm becomes the thinnest. If you sense
a presence behind you, it's not your imagination! Folk-lore aside,
this is a great meal to fortify you in this season of changing
temperatures and late-night parties.
Here
is our take on a classic beef stew to be served with a hot bread
while cuddled together around the TV for the latest sports event, or
creepiest movie!
Ingredients
- 1 tbs oil
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch chunks
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 medium sweet potatoes cut in 1 inch cubes
- 1 onion, rough chopped
- 1 32 ounce container beef broth
- 1 20 ounce package frozen spinach ravioli
- 1 can stewed tomatoes
- 1 can green beans
- 2Tbs cornstarch
Directions:
Wipe
out the slow cooker and spray with cooking spray.
Chop
the onions, Peel and cube the sweet potatoes, You
should have about 2½ to 3 cups of cubes.
Place the cubes in the slow
cooker.
Cut
the meat into cubes.
In
an open bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and paprika.
Roll meat pieces until well coated. Save
back 4 Tbs of flour mixture.
In
a large skillet on medium high heat, add cooking oil and brown the
meat on all sides for about 5 minutes. You may have to work in
batches so you don't crowd the meat. Remove and set on top of the
sweet potatoes in the slow cooker.
Add
onions to the cooker along with the stewed tomatoes.
Pour
in the beef broth.
Cover
and let cook on low for 8 hours.
At
that time: Add the spinach ravioli, If you like a thick stew,
this time add a slurry made of the held back flour mixture and ½ cup
of water.
Add
a drained can of green beans.
Re-cover.
Turn up to high and cook for a final hour.
During
this final hour of cooking you have time to fix a nice crusty brown &
serve bread.
