Ingredients:
  • 1 3/4 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of fat to make 1 1/4 pounds lean beef stew meat
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced 1/2 inch thick (3 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, cut into wedges (1/2 cup)
  • 1 3/4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots or pitted dried plums (prunes), quartered
  • 2 tablespoons chopped unsalted peanuts
  • Sliced green onion (optional)
Instructions:
  • Cut the meat into 1-inch pieces. In a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker, mix the meat, sweet potatoes, and onion together. Add in the broth, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic, and stir everything well in the cooker.
  • Cook covered on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3 1/2-4 hours to perfection.
  • Mix in the juicy undrained tomatoes and the sweet dried apricots. Before serving, top each portion with crunchy peanuts and, for extra flavor, fresh green onion.
