Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a frying pan and add 500 g Braising steak (chuck roast). Cook the chunks of meat for about 2 minutes until all sides are browned.
  • Meanwhile chop 1 Onion, 1 Leek, 10 Mushrooms and mince 2 Garlic cloves.
  • When the beef has browned, remove it from the frying pan and put in the slow cooker bowl. Add the vegetables to the frying pan and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Place the cooked vegetables in the slow cooker bowl with the beef and add 500 ml Vegetable stock, 250 ml Red wine, 2 tablespoon Wholegrain mustard, 4 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, 2 tablespoon Tomato puree and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
  • Cook on low for 7 hours or high for 4 hours.

Notes

  • You don't have to sear the meat first, however it really does make a difference to the finished dish as it seals all the flavour in.
  • Root vegetables work really well in this stew, however you can give it a green boost by adding some leafy greens about 30 minutes before the stew is ready.
  • You don't have to serve this stew with anything. You could add some potatoes to the stew and cook it all together.
  • Thicken the dish by adding a cornflour slurry
