A tasty beef in a rich herb and garlic gravy. Perfect served with creamy mashed potato, carrots and corn cobs. You might like to include some crusty bread or soft white dinner rolls to get every last drop of the gravy off your plates too – it’s that yummy!

Well, this recipe is a keeper. Absolutely delicious and so easy to throw together and let do its thing during the day while you get on with life.
I made it exactly how the recipe stated., except I ran out of tomato paste, so topped it up with some tomato Gausundi paste/chutney.
I used the cooked mix as a filling for pies. Yummo !
Do yourself a flavour and definitely try this great recipe 🙂
Absolutely delicious! Wonderfully easy meal to prep, had it with mash potatoe and mixed vege. Will definitely be dishing up this again. ?
So good, didn’t change a thing. I’ll definitely cook again especially in the winter months. Thank you Paulene,
This was absolutely delicious with minimal ingredients. I followed the recipe exactly . Everyone in our family loved it. We will definitely have this on our meal planner again.
This was a hit tonight, was a bit concerned in how the meat cooked. The only thing I changed as I added in the onion at the end with the gravy and next time I will be adding the gravy in, in the last 30 mins of cooking rather then at then end
Easy to make and very enjoyable. Served this up with mash and mint peas. Leftovers will be going into a pie.
Made this tonight using beef cheeks as that all I could find at the supermarket. Cooked for 6 hours on auto, before moving to high for the last 30 mins when adding the gravy powder. Best meal I’ve made in the slow cooker, will be making this again and again
When making this beef dish aren’t there any liquids added at start of cook?
Hi Karen,
No it makes heaps of it’s own liquids as it cooks 🙂
Perfect with mash and veg. Leftovers were amazing in pies ??
Made this for dinner tonight. Absolutely beautiful, my husband and I enjoyed it so much. I will be making this again. I used gravy beef it was so tender it just melted in your mouth. Thank you Paulene for another fantastic recipe . ?
You are so welcome Marilyn!
Delicious,. Diced roast beef with gravy. Served on a bed of cauliflower and sweet potato mash with a side of frozen mixed vegies and broccoli.
A real winter warmer. Will cook when visiting England in December.
All I can say is yum, yum, yum.
Son and daughter in law loved it and took leftovers home for dinner the next day 🙂
Slow cooked this yet again tonight, OH said it was delicious. Love having a stash in the freezer for those nights I don’t want to cook – it freezes & reheats beautifully.
