Instructions

  • Using a frying pan, sprayed with one cal spray fry off your bacon, garlic and onions, approx 5 minutes. Tip this into your slow cooker
  • Next coat your beef pieces in the flour and salt & pepper, there isn't too much flour however this will help brown the meat
  • Using the same frying pan quickly batch fry your pieces to brown the meat, approx 5 minutes - do not overcrowd the pan. You can do this in two batches. Tip this in your slow cooker too
  • Next add your red wine, water and stock cubes to the slow cooker, followed by your large carrots slices, mushroom halves, tomato puree and fresh herbs
  • Give it a quick stir
  • Pop the lid on and cook on low for 8 hours (often ready after 6)
  • Once cooked add a table spoon of gravy granules to achieve the thickness you like. Then you're all ready to serve
  • Check the seasoning and adjust accordingly with salt & pepper if necessary
