That’s very different to all the others who have cooked this dish and left feedback :/
It sounds like your slow cooker may cook quite hot?

Cooked this for 4.5 hours and the meat was incredibly dry and inedible. Used chuck steak so not sure what the problem was but there is no way i could have cooked this for 8 hours. The meat would have turned into rocks.

The rutabaga or swede differs from the turnip (Brassica rapa) in that it is typically larger and yellow-orange rather than white. … In the north of England and Scotland, the larger, yellow rutabagas are called neeps or swede from folk etymology, while the smaller white turnips are called turnips.

Looks lush!! Ingredients say turnip & swede….they’re the same thing. So does that mean 4 of them??

I loved this. Just like my mums Irish stew. I added the swedes/turnips and onion in whole to extract the flavour but I don’t like them in my finished product (personal choice).
We just served with crusty buttered bread to mop up the broth. So glad I can keep this recipe alive (just like mums) but adapted to slow cooker. Thank you.
