# Instructions:
01 -
Trim excess fat from beef and cut into uniform 2.5 cm cubes. Season cubes generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
02 -
In the slow cooker, whisk together beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, tomato paste, minced garlic, and smoked paprika until well combined.
03 -
Place seasoned beef cubes into the sauce mixture, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated and mostly submerged.
04 -
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until beef is fork-tender and sauce has thickened slightly.
05 -
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If a thicker sauce is desired, stir in a cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
# Notes:
01 -
For richer flavor, sear the beef cubes in a hot pan before transferring to the slow cooker.
02 -
Additional vegetables such as carrots, mushrooms, or potatoes can be included for a heartier meal.
03 -
A bay leaf may be added to the sauce for increased depth of flavor.
04 -
Crusty bread is recommended for soaking up the sauce.
