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.

Add a squirt of oil to a large deep bottom pan.

Add the onion, celery and red pepper and gently fry for a few minutes.

Add the tomato purée and mix again.

Make a well in the middle of the mixture then Drop the brisket in and brown all over.

Add the red wine and simmer for a minute then add the tomatoes and stock and drop the cinnamon stick in.

Turn the meat in the sauce then remove and add it to the slow cooker, then Bring the sauce to the boil and add a squeeze of lime juice then simmer for a few minutes before adding to the slow cooker.

Cook for 6-7 hours in a slow cooker on high.

Before you are ready to serve cook your fries , I used my new actifryer!!Or You can oven bake your own.

Meanwhile Remove the meat with tongs and add the sauce back to the large pan and reduce on a simmer for around 15 minutes until thick (remove Cinammon stick) , then shred the beef up in the sauce, sprinkle the cheese all over and serve with the fries and fresh coriander!
