Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
3 carrots, halved and cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
½ pack thyme
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 beef stock cubes or stock pots
900g beef for braising such as skirt, buy a whole piece and cut it yourself for bigger chunks or buy ready-diced
2 tsp cornflour (optional)
½ small bunch parsley, chopped
buttery mash, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Fry the onion and celery in 1 tbsp oil over a low heat until they start to soften - about 5 mins. Add the carrots, bay and thyme, fry for 2 mins, stir in the purée and Worcestershire sauce, add 600ml boiling water, stir and tip everything into a slow cooker. Crumble over the stock cubes or add the stock pots and stir, then season with pepper (don't add salt as the stock may be salty).
  • Clean out the frying pan and fry the beef in the remaining oil in batches until it is well browned, then tip each batch into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or on high for 4 hrs.
  • If you want to thicken the gravy, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to make a paste, then stir in 2 tbsp of the liquid from the slow cooker. Tip back into the slow cooker, stir and cook for a further 30 mins on high. Stir in the parsley and season again to taste. Serve with mash, if you like. Leave to cool before freezing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or stew meat are both good options, as they have a lot of connective tissue that will break down and become tender during the cooking process.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and give it a nice color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to the stew. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and mushrooms.
  • Season the stew well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and other spices to taste.
  • Cook the stew on low for at least 8 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
