BEEF STEW WITH CINNAMON
This recipe came from a Gourmet Magazine years ago. I have continued to make it thru the years. It always seems to satisfy my family. I sometimes serve this over rice and sometimes with a side of mashed potatoes. Nice hearty meal. I find it easy to double the recipe and freeze half for an easy dinner another time.

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, brisket, and short ribs are all good choices for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they will become tender when cooked slowly in a liquid.
- Brown the beef before stewing: This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic beef stew vegetables. You can also add other vegetables, such as parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
- Season the stew well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good basic seasonings for beef stew. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or cumin.
- Cook the stew slowly: Beef stew is a dish that benefits from long, slow cooking. This will help to tenderize the beef and allow the flavors to develop.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious gravy.
