SLOW-COOKED ASIAN BEEF WITH SWEET POTATO
From a fantastic site I stumbled upon the other day. I'm posting the original recipe but I made it slightly differently-same amount of sauce, but only enough meat and sweet potato for the two of us as we love tons of sauce over our rice.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based pan. Add the onions and cook for 2 mins, then add the carrot and celery and cook until softened. Add a little water if the mixture sticks.
- Add the braising steak and cook until browned, then stir in the garlic and cinnamon and cook for a further 1 - 2 mins until the aromas are released.
- Add the stock cube to 500ml boiling water and stir into the meat, along with the tomato purée and parsley stalks. Bring to the boil and simmer covered for 1 hour, then take off the lid and simmer for another hour or until the meat is very tender. Stir in the chopped parsley leaves.
- Transfer the stew into a medium-sized ceramic dish (that would be big enough for four adults), or into 6 - 8 large ramekins for make-ahead toddler portions.
- Meanwhile, steam or boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Drain the potatoes well and mash with the butter. Spoon on top of the meat, sprinkle with the cheese and cook on the top shelf for around 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Alternatively, cover and freeze the pie or mini pies for another time. Defrost thoroughly before cooking - you can do this by leaving it in the fridge overnight if you like. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6 and cook for around 30 - 35 mins or until golden, bubbling and hot throughout.

BEEF & SWEET POTATO STEW (SLOW COOKER)
This stew is an entire meal, veggies and all. It is thickened just before serving with ground toasted rice, which gives it nice toasted undertones. I am sure other veggies could be added, but I think the green bean sweet potato combo is pretty good. Adapted from Secrets of Slow Cooking.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or brisket are great options for slow cooking, as they are tough cuts that become tender when cooked slowly.
- Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef in a pan over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your slow cooker beef stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
- Add some herbs and spices: Season your slow cooker beef stew with a variety of herbs and spices to taste. Some good options include garlic, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook on low and slow: The key to tender, flavorful slow cooker beef stew is to cook it on low and slow. Cook the stew for at least 8 hours, or up to 12 hours for even more tender meat.

Slow cooker Asian beef with sweet potato is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight.
