Slow cooked beef stew:
Ready in 8 hours 30 mins • serves 6
Ingredients:
1.2L (2 pints) water boiled from a kettle
1
⁄
2
a swede, cut into small chunks
3 medium sized carrots, cut in chunks mushrooms (as many as you want)
1 large pack of lean stewing steak or rump steak, cut into small even
chunks 2tbsp oil, 75g (3 oz) flour 2tsp dried parsley 2tsp dried thyme, 3
to 4 beef stock cubes 5 twists of black pepper from mill Worcestershire
sauce, 1tsp Marmite 1dsp of tomato puree
Method:
Prepare vegetables and put into stockpot or slow cooker.
Put the oil and beef into a large bowl and coat the beef with the oil using
wooden spoon or your hands. In another large bowl combine the flour,
herbs, pepper and 3 stock cubes. Add the beef to the flour mixture (keep
the oil separate as you will need this later) and coat the beef with the flour.
Add some of the oil from the other bowl to a large frying pan or wok and
heat gently. Take out the beef and add it to the hot oil (leave any excess
flour in the bowl for later). Add Marmite and Worcestershire sauce to the
pan and if beef sticks to the pan add more oil. Cook the beef all the way
through for about 5 to 10 minutes to seal in the flavour. Add the rest of
the flour to the vegetables in the slow cooker. Pour boiled water onto the
vegetables a little at a time and stir to mix in the flour. Add the beef and
cooking juices to the pot and cook all day in your slow cooker on medium
heat. Taste throughout cooking to see if stew has enough herbs, pepper
and stock cubes. If too thick add more water. Serve with potatoes and
cabbage and crusty bread.
The quantities may have to be altered to suit your appliance, taste and
servings.
NOTE:
Always remove the plug from the mains supply and wait to cool before
cleaning the appliance.
The exterior of the appliance should be cleaned, if necessary, with a
slightly damp cloth without additives.
The stoneware insert is dishwasher safe or can also be cleaned with warm
soapy water.
To remove any foods that have stuck to the bottom of the pot, simply fill
the pot and soak overnight in soapy water and rinse the next day.
Do Not immerse the base unit in any liquid.
