    Slow Cooker Cuban-Style Beef StewPin

    One of my favorite classic Cuban dishes is Picadillo Cubano, which has proven its deliciousness time and time again. Ground beef cooked in tomato sauce with onions, garlic, raisins, stuffed Spanish olives and wine, provides a rich and comforting dish.

    Last week I was craving this dish, but didn't have ground beef at home, so I decided to make a Beef Stew in the slow cooker with the same flavors of Picadillo Cubano. Served with a steaming side of white rice, this was simply the perfect way to bring warmth to a cold day.

    This Slow Cooker Cuban-Style Beef Stew is a wonderful and simple meal for the whole family.

    Buen provecho!

      Looks like a wonderful stew, interesting with olives and raisins together. Kinda Morrocan influenced too.

      The briny bite of the olives pairs great with chicken but I have never tried it with beef, I'm liking that idea!

      Cubans are not allowed to eat the beef. They are only allowed to raise it for tourist consumption.

      Ericka, thank you for bringing up to me the colombian dishes. I did the choriz0 and beef picadillo and was really delicious. however, I did not have all the required ingredients such as olives, raisins and red wine; but I substituted some of them and place carrots, celery, cabbage and white wine instead. My husband loved it as well myself. Thank you again.

      Why remove bay leaves and add salt and pepper again?
