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:
- Use a good quality beef stew meat. Look for meat that is well-marbled with fat, as this will help to keep the stew moist and flavorful.
- Brown the beef stew meat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the dish.
- Add a splash of red wine or beer to the stew. This will help to deglaze the pan and add a rich flavor to the stew.
- Season the stew with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
- Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
