Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Caribbean jerk marinade
  • 1 1/2 lb beef stew meat
  • 4 medium red potatoes (about 3/4 lb), cut into quarters
  • 1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

  • 3 cups frozen bell pepper and onion stir-fry (from 1-lb bag)

Steps

  • 1
    Pour marinade over beef in resealable food-storage plastic bag or glass or plastic dish; coat beef with marinade. Let stand 15 minutes.
  • 2
    Spray inside of 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Place potatoes in slow cooker. Mix flour and Cajun seasoning; toss with beef and marinade, coating well. Place beef and marinade on potatoes. Add tomatoes.
  • 3
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours.
  • 4
    Stir in stir-fry vegetables. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 15 to 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

  • If you like your food hot and spicy, you may want to increase the Cajun seasoning to 2 tablespoons.
  • Cajun cooks like rice! A regional specialty is Dirty Rice, which has a brownish or "dirty" appearance from the chicken livers that are cooked and ground and then added to the rice mixture. With bits of bell pepper, onion, garlic and pepper, this rice has a distinct spiciness and unique flavor. For milder palates, simply serve this southern-inspired stew with hot cooked white or brown rice.
