This is a very basic beef stew. It’s easy, delicious and inexpensive to make. While there are hundreds of variations of this traditional recipe, it’s hard to improve on this version’s savory and comforting goodness.

Stuff that's in it

What you do

Switch your slow cooker onto high.

Heat a squirt of oil in a pan and put your beef in to gently brown all over, add all the chopped veg at the same time and gently caramelise for a few minutes.

Add the meat and the fried veg to the slow cooker and then pour over the stock until it just covers the top of the meat and veg. Place the lid on and cook for around 7 hours or until meat falls apart.

Remove the meat to one side using tongs. Using a colander sieve all the veg and keep the lovely stock in a pan, then using an automatic flour sifter, if you have one, sift the flour bit by bit into the pan of stock , slowly making a thick gravy.. or just use a whisk or a fork, just gently add the flour so you don’t make lumps.

Then divide the meat by 4 portions and add the gravy.

I finished my dish with sweet potato and veg but the macros are for the meat and gravy.
