Preparation: Step 1
-
Before starting to cook beef goulash in a slow cooker, prepare all the ingredients. Choosing the right meat is very important. Such parts of beef as a neck, shoulder blade or brisket are ideal. These pieces contain a fairly connective tissue, which after extinguishing becomes soft and literally melts in the mouth.
The meat should be fresh: saturated red color, without an unpleasant odor. If possible, choose a beef in the market from a trusted seller. This is the key that the stewed beef in the slow cooker will turn out to be fragrant and juicy.
Also get tomato paste in advance. Choose a paste without sugar and unnecessary additives — it should have a maximum of tomatoes. This will make the gravy thick, rich and tasty. If there are no pastes, you can use homemade tomato puree from fresh tomatoes.

Step 2
Rinse the beef thoroughly under cool water, dry with paper towels and cut with medium cubes. Too small pieces can fall apart when extinguishing, and large pieces will be prepared longer.
Important: use a sharp knife — so the fibers will not crumble, and the goulash in the slow cooker will turn out to be neat and appetizing.

Step 3
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl (I have a volume of 5 liters). Turn on the «Frying» or «Baking» mode (depending on the model of your multicooker). Add chopped beef.

Step 4
Fry about 15-20 minutes so that all the liquid evaporates, and the pieces of meat are browned. In each slow cooker, this process can take different times.

Step 5
Peel the onion with carrots. Rinse and dry well from excess water. Cut the onion of a quarter with rings, carrots with circles. Add to meat. Salt a little.
-
Step 6
Continue to fry in the «Frying» mode for another 4-5 minutes, stirring periodically.
-
Step 7
Inject 2 tablespoons of tomato paste in a multicooker bowl. Mix well so that each piece of meat and vegetables is covered with a tomato base.
This will give the dish a rich color and classic taste, which we love so much in a home ghoul with beef.

Step 8
Fry all together for another 2-3 minutes. Do not forget to stir. Tomato paste is slightly caramelized and gives the saucer a special depth of taste.
-
Step 9
Add 800 ml of hot water (this will accelerate the cooking process). Mix.
Close the slut cover and enable the “stew” or “meat” mode for 40 minutes. This is the optimal time that the beef goulash in the slow cooker becomes rich and thick, and the pieces of meat are soft.
In this step, the extinguishing time may also differ. It all depends on the multicooker model.
-
Step 10
While the goulash extinguishes, connect 200 ml of cold water and 1 tablespoon of flour in a separate bowl. Mix thoroughly with a whisk until a homogeneous consistency so that there are no lumps.
This step will help to make a grave for a goulash in a multicooker thick and silky.

Step 11
Add salt, pepper, dried green onions, ground garlic to the flour mixture. Mix all the ingredients well.
-
Step 12
Disconnect the program. Gently open the lid after the end of the extinguishing. Caution: the steam is very hot.
-
Step 13
Pour the flour mixture with seasonings into the multicooker bowl. Mix. Turn on the “Extinguishing” mode again for 20 minutes. During this time, the gravy will thicken, and all the tastes will connect.

Step 14
Goulash from beef in a slow cooker is ready. It goes well with mashed potatoes, buckwheat or pasta. And for those who monitor food, you can serve it with boiled rice or even baked vegetables.

Step 15
The remaining beef goulash can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The main thing is to transfer it to a sealed container. And when warming up, add a little water, if the gravy has become too thick, the recipe will certainly become one of the favorite! It is convenient, understandable, and even a beginner will be able to prepare a delicious goulash in a slow cooker the first time.
