SLOW-COOKER BEEF STEW



Slow-cooker beef stew image

Cook beef stew in a slow cooker for really tender meat. Add button mushrooms or smoked paprika for extra flavour - it will be an instant family favourite

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 onion, chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
3 carrots, halved and cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
½ pack thyme
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 beef stock cubes or stock pots
900g beef for braising such as skirt, buy a whole piece and cut it yourself for bigger chunks or buy ready-diced
2 tsp cornflour (optional)
½ small bunch parsley, chopped
buttery mash, to serve (optional)

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:

  • For a richer flavor, use bone-in beef chuck roast instead of boneless stew meat.
  • Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop the flavor and create a more tender stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew, such as carrots, potatoes, celery, and onions. You can also add other vegetables, such as corn, green beans, or zucchini.
  • Season the stew with a variety of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
  • Cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. The longer you cook the stew, the more tender the beef will be.
  • Serve the stew over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. You can also serve it with a side of bread or tortillas.
