Directions
1Put all the listed ingredients, except cornflour, into the slow cooker and stir well.
2Slow cook on low for at least 8 hours, the idea is to not require teeth.
3Once meat is 'fall apart soft', place some excess liquid into a bowl. Mix in corn flour and create a lump free paste before transferring back into the slow cooker. Stir in and allow to thicken. Repeat until it's gravy consistency.
Notes
1Serve with mash and veg.
2This meal freezes really well and very handy for meal prepping.
3Also works well with venison.

The gravy is so delicious, I could eat a whole bowl of it.
To thicken, I find it easier to strain the stew and thicken juices on a stove top. Next time I’ll be adding mushrooms toward the end. Mine only took 5hrs on low to cook. I cut the casserole steak into bite size pieces for kids sake. Might be why it cooked quicker.

Absolutely delicious I was a little bit unsure adding curry powder if I’m honest! but added it and I’m so glad I did it was amazing ! and it turns out my Great Grandma use to add curry powder to her stew and it took my mum back to eating her food!

Absolutely delicious
Takes me back to when I was little and my nan used to make steak and kidney stew (this dish minus the kidney)
The meat just melts in your mouth, it’s so tender and the sauce is divine.
Served with a creamy mash, fresh beans and carrot

Absolutely delicious and super fast to prepare – with ingredients that are easy to have on hand! We eat keto so have this with a side of mashed cauliflower.
I work from home but also need to prepare things in the morning and forget about them until it is almost time to eat. I have done this twice and it will become a regular in our home, thank you Heather Wiseman!

Absolutely amazing. My 2.5 year old cannot get enough of it and while she is a good eater, there are only certain foods she finishes off completely and then asks for more and this is one. So tasty, I use this recipe at least once a week, the tastiest I have found, just amazing. Adding some fresh herbs just amplifies the amazing tastes. Thank you!

Yummmmmo!! Used two onions instead of one, 2 kilos of casserole steak. Added some extra ingredients as sauce was tasting a little on the bland side… minced garlic, a splash of red cooking wine, veggie stock and in the last 40mins a 200g punnet of chopped mushrooms, served over creamy mashed potato. Perfecto 👌🏻
Will be making this dish again in the near future 😁 – cooking time for me was 7 hours.

Lovely! Didn’t change a thing though I did half the recipe and cooked for 6 hours. Meat was nice and tender and a great flavour! Hubby needed to add a bit of chili sauce but I left mine as it. Thanks!

We absolutely loved this, especially as it has very few ingredients and tastes fantastic! I shredded the meat I used and am going to use it heated on fresh crusty rolls in the future (just placed the leftovers in small containers in the freezer, ready for a quick and easy midweek meal). Thanks Heather for a yummy recipe!

You can halve the ingredients but don’t have the time. Maybe 6hrs or so at least to still ensure tender meat and cooked veg

Can I just halve everything in the recipe? Would that require 2 hours less cooking time as well?

I tried this yesterday. The smells had my mouth watering, and it tasted great. I served over mash, but will be having it with paninis and cheese tonight. Very easy to make, especially as this was my first time ever using a slow cooker. 10/10 will make this again

A nice recipe. Needs a little extra something in the gravy though. Will need to experiment. Will be making again

Some don’t like it but lot’s love it 🙂
Why not just test a small amount next time you have some cooked mashed potato so you know if you like it

Can you freeze mashed potato? I also thought it went funny when defrosted, I would be happy if you can as I make sons dinners for the week at work and he hasn’t had potatoes in any yet.

I usually use about 1 tblsp at first mixed with about the same cool tap water
Stir it through and allow to thicken maybe 10mins or so before you decide if you neeed to repeat 🙂

I’m completely new to this so can someone please tell me how much corn flour is required to thicken??? Thanks

I made this dish and my family loved it. I made it gluten free and paleo by substituting with gluten free flour to thicken the sauce. I combined it with sides of carrots and creamy potatoes. It had a luscious sauce so I included sides of horseradish and rustic bread for dipping. My dog went coo coo for cocoa puffs over the leftover gravy she got on her dinner! I think it would be over the top with mushroom chunks added in the last hour of cooking. If served over rice with just veggies on the side it would be totally gluten free and paleo, and I expect it would still be delicious.

Would any curry powder do ?

Does the potato freeze ok? I thought spuds when defrosted have a different texture?
