Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound beef round, in very thin slices.

• 12 ounces dry gemelli pasta

• 1 (12-ounce) jar red pepper, roasted and drained.

• 4 ounces goat cheese, softened

• 2 cups low-sodium beef stock

• 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and more to taste.

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (dried basil and oregano)

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (not necessary, to make the sauce richer)

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (serving, optional)

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (serving optional) chopped.

Creamy Roasted Beef: Directions

1. Put the raw beef round strips in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, in a single layer on the bottom. Uniformly sprinkle the dry gemelli pasta on top of the beef and allow it to fall down among the meat pieces in order to have everything nestled together.

2. Put roasted red peppers, goat cheese, beef stock, balsamic glaze, minced garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, dried Italian seasoning, and olive oil in the blender or food processor just in case. Blend until smooth and creamy mixture. It is the only mix that will make everything in the slow cooker taste and cook.

3. Gradually pour the mixture of roasted red pepper, which is mixed up, over the raw beef strips, and dry gemelli in the slow cooker, being careful not to miss covering try to get as much pasta and meat as you can. Lightly press any dry pasta with a spoon to be moistened with the sauce.

4. Cover the slow cooker using the lid. Bake at LOW 4-5 hours or HIGH 2-2 1/2 hours till the beef is tender and gemelli is cooked but not mushy. Unless your slow cooker is working well, it should start checking on the sooner side of the time range.

5. After the beef and pasta is cooked, stir all of it once more in the slow cooker. It might appear that the sauce is somewhat divided but stirring will join the sauce into a creamy cover on the beef and gemelli. Add a bit more salt or pepper to the taste, as desired.

6. Pour the creamy served roasted red pepper beef gemelli into warm bowls. Sprinkle each serving with a bit of grated Parmesan cheese and cut fresh parsley, should you wish. Serve hot, directly out of the slow cooker, and the sauce is smooth and the beef is tender.
