Equipment

  • 5.5L Slow Cooker

Ingredients
 

  • 800-1000 grams gravy beef, diced
  • 300-400 grams beef kidney, diced
  • 200 grams mushrooms sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 heaped tbsp gravy mix/powder
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup shiraz wine (see notes)
  • 1/2 cup beef stock liquid
  • 1 tsp Crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • 4 Bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • Add sliced onion to slow cooker
  • Toss beef in gravy powder then add this meat to slow cooker, along with mushrooms
  • Add kidney on top
  • Mix sauce, tomato paste, wine, stock, garlic and herbs and pour over
  • Cook on low for 5 hours (see note).
  • Discard bay leaves and serve with mashed potato and steamed vegetables. Also goes great in a pie!
  • NOTES:
    If you don’t want to use wine. Just add extra beef stock in its place.
    I cooked it in my Sunbeam Secret Chef 5.5L. for 5 hours (as it runs on the hot side) so it may need longer in a smaller or slower cooker
    It makes 5 generous serves.
    Freezers well.

    Really lovely rich recipe with tonnes of flavour. I’m making the mixture one day then the pie for tomorrow night’s dinner.

    I did a smaller batch – probably about half. It was really good but I did need to thicken it in the end with a cornflour slurry.
    My partner and myself were very impressed with the flavour and texture.

    this is a great recipe, and I’ve made it several times.
    I have found that if I hold back the kidneys, then just lightly flour them, give em a short saute/browning in a frypan, then add em to the stew for just the last half hour, they turn out juicy and tender, which takes the stew to next level.
    Thanks for a great foundation recipe!
