20 mins
Slow-cook10 hrs

Ingredients

  • 800 g stewing/casserole beef lean
  • 2 onions
  • 3 sticks celery
  • 2 parsnips
  • 2 carrots
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 500 ml beef stock
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Peel the carrots and parsnips, and remove the skins from the onions.
  • Pop onions, celery, carrot and parsnips into a food processor and chop finely (you can do this by hand, especially if you prefer chunkier veg- but I wanted mine to be small to thicken the sauce and appeal to the children!)
  • Coat the casserole steak with the flour, and season with salt and pepper. Crush the garlic cloves.
  • Heat the oil in a large, non-stick pan, and throw in the garlic. Cook for about 20 seconds, and then add in the beef. Stir around, and then leave to cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Stir again, and cook on a high heat for another 3 minutes.
  • Put the chopped veg into the slow cooker bowl, and add in the beef.
  • Mix together the mustard, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, rosemary and thyme with a few tablespoons of the beef stock
  • Put the used beef pan back on the heat, and add the stock and sauce mix. Stir well, scraping away any residue left on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the sauce into the slow cooker, stir well, and cook on high for 4-6 hours, or on low for 8-12 hours.

Notes

Delicious served with rosemary roast potatoes, broccoli and any other fresh green vegetables.
