Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• ¼ cup chili powder
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 red bell peppers, cut into strips
• 3 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
• 3 medium potatoes, unpeeled and diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine beef, potatoes, onion, peppers, and garlic in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Toss the beef mixture with the flour mixture until evenly coated. Place the mixture into a slow cooker, and pour in enough beef broth to barely cover the meat. If you don't have quite enough, you can fill the rest of the way with water.

Step 2

Cook on Low until the beef is tender, 6 to 8 hours.
