Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed

  • ½ tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 pound baby carrots

  • 3 medium potatoes, cut into chunks

  • 2 cups water

  • ½ cup tomato sauce

  • ¼ cup red cooking wine

  • 8 Manzanilla olives

  • 2 tablespoons sofrito

  • 1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning with achiote (such as Goya®)

  • ½ tablespoon adobo seasoning

  • ½ tablespoon soy sauce

  • ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. Mix together flour, salt, and pepper in a resealable plastic bag; add beef. Seal the bag and shake to coat beef evenly.

  2. Heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in sugar and cook until it turns golden, about 5 minutes. Add coated beef and cook until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer browned beef to a slow cooker.

  3. Stir carrots, potatoes, water, tomato sauce, wine, olives, sofrito, sazón, adobo seasoning, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the slow cooker.

  4. Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or High for 4 to 6 hours until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender.
