Beef Stew Recipe
Check out our new Beef Stew Recipe on FitBrits.com

When it comes to making a good stew, I don’t believe in faffing about! All you need to do is roughly chop everything and chuck it all in a pan. Stew it, and then you’re done!

This recipe also has a slight Mediterranean feel to it with a hint of Paprika.

Ingredients

  • 500g Beef Mince
  • x1 Egg
  • x1 Large Onion
  • Garlic (x2 cloves)
  • Worcester Sauce (x2 tbsp)
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Parsley
  • Olive Oil (to fry)

So its been quiet a redundant appliance in our kitchen, so I decided to wipe off the cobwebs and give it a whirl…  and what a result!

I would probably stay clear of using “non-slow cooker”  recipes in one though.  On the first attempt, this is what I tried, but found the sauce was far too runny.  But on the most recent attempt, I found this great slow cooker recipe and changed it slightly as follows:

  • 1kg stewing meat
  • 4 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 Beef Oxo Cubes

Fry the meat then lob everything in the slow cooker for 7-9 hours on low, you may have to put some corn flour in the mixture to thicken it slightly if runny at all.

Although it seems like a long time, I prepared everything before work (took 15 mins) and by the time I got home, dinner was ready – perfect stew!
