hestia8Another slow cooker dish. NB to do this one totally according to the recipe you'll need a rather big slow cooker.
Serves 4
1.2 kg chuck steak (according to the internet this is braising/stewing steak in the UK)
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 leek, white part only, cut into 1 cm slices
1 celery stalk, sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 parsnips, quartered
300g orange sweet potato, cut into 8 wedges
1 swede, cut into 8 wedges
250ml red wine
60ml tomato sauce (ketchup)
1 tablespoon cornflour
175g frozen broad beans
Trim the beef and cut into 4cm cubes. Put the beef in the slow cooker, sprinkle over the thyme and season well with salt and pepper. Add the leek, celery, garlic, parsnip, sweet potato, swede, wine and tomato sauce. Cook on high for 4 hours, or until the beef is tender.
About 20 minutes before the end of cooking, combine the cornflour with a little water to make a smooth paste and stir into the beef and vegetables along with the broad beans. Continue to cook until the broad beans are cooked through, then serve.
Notes: admittedly I didn't use about half the ingredients here because a) I was cooking it for Crishna and b) my slow cooker is quite small. Also I don't like leeks. BUT it was still yum, and didn't suffer for my mucking about with the recipe.
