SLOWCOOKER Recipes: It seems the minute winter comes to the neighborhood , our minds and bodies start craving those comfort foods. Nothing says incredibly tasty comfort food like those recipes that are cooked in the most convenient kitchen tool we have, the slowcooker/crockpot. Throw in your ingredients before you leave to work in the morning, and come home to the most savory and delicious dinner meal. Here are my favorite comfort food slowcooker recipes:

1/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp.salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. dry mustard powder

1 tsp. sweet paprika

1 tsp. cumin

3 large rib steaks or 1 1/ 4 lb boneless beef short ribs, trimmed and cut into 2 inch chunks

1 large white onion, chopped

2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 cups baby carrots, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb. red baby potatoes, or regular baby potatoes, quartered

1/2 cup dry red wine

1 cup chicken or beef broth

3 tbsp. honey dijon mustard

For the mustard sauce:

3 tbsp. tofutti sour cream

1 1/2 tbsp.honey mustard dressing (your favorite brand)

Directions:

Sprinkle some salt and pepper on both sides of your steak.

On a wax paper, mix together flour, and 1/2 tsp. of all the spices. Coat beef with seasoned flour shaking off the excess. Heat the olive oil in a skillet on med- high and brown the steak on both sides – about 5-6 minutes on each side.

Transfer the browned steak into the crockpot when finished

Deglaze the dirty frying pan with the red wine and set aside for a minute.

Add all your chopped vegetables and garlic to the crock pot.

Add the remainder 1/2 tsp. of all the spices to the pot and pour in the deglazed wine and broth. Add the mustard and mix with a rubber spatula.

Turn your crock pot on high for 4 hours and cook.

When ready to serve mix together the ingredients for the mustard sauce and serve on top or on the side of your dish. Serve this delicious dish with rice or couscous.

tip: these make great leftovers for lunch the next day – perfect on top of some salad greens!
