Try this easy and flavorful slow cooker beef stew for a hands-off cooking experience.
Ingredients:
  • 27.30 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.2kg gravy beef, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 1 large brown onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled, finely chopped
  • 1 large celery stick, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 10.00 gm sweet paprika
  • 2 tsp Beef Stock Powder
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) Mutti Tomato Passata
  • 4 dried bay leaves
  • 2 large fresh rosemary sprigs
  • 20g butter, at room temperature
  • 40.00 ml White Plain Flour
  • Mashed potato, to serve
  • Fresh continental parsley leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over high heat, vigorously heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Brown the beef in batches for about 5 minutes until evenly cooked. Use tongs to transfer the beef to a slow cooker.
  • In the same pan, heat the rest of the 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Toss in the onion, carrot, and celery. Lower the heat to medium and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the paprika and mix well.
  • Spread the savory onion mixture over the beef in the slow cooker. Pour in the stock powder, passata, bay leaves, rosemary, and 375ml (1 1/2 cups) water. Cover and let it cook on High for 5 hours or until the beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender.
  • In a small bowl, combine butter and flour using a spoon until well mixed. Add this mixture to beef in the slow cooker and stir thoroughly. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season to taste, then serve over mashed potatoes and garnish with parsley.
