Ingredients
 

  • 600g diced beef
  • 1x carrot peeled and chopped (if you would like like to turn this into a pie its best to grate)
  • 2-3 small mushrooms diced
  • 1x brown onion peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup corn flour
  • 4tbs tomato sauce
  • 2tbs Worcestershire sauce
  • 1x cup of beer
  • 2x cups of beef stock
  • 1tsp thyme
  • 1tsp parsley
  • 3tsp minced garlic
  • 2x bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2tbs oil
  • Your favourite gravy powder (I like using Gravox Brown Onion gravy)

Instructions
 

  • Coat beef with corn flour and using a sauté pan with a little oil cook in batches, you just want to brown the beef slightly.
  • Place all ingredients in your slow cooker and cook for 6-8 hours on low or until beef is really tender.
  • When your beef is almost ready thicken it with gravy powder. Use 3tsps of gravy powder and mix it with 3tbs of water pour it in your slow cooker mix well and repeat till sauce is lovely and thick.
  • Take the bay leaves out of your slow cooker and then your dish is ready serve. I love mine served with a good mashed potato.

Notes

  • Even if you don't like beer (like me) you will enjoy this dish. The beer flavour is very subtle and it helps makes your beef extra tender. Chose a beer that you can tolerate the flavour of if you can, I like using Cascade Draught or Pure Blonde. This casserole makes a fantastic beef and beer pie as well, if you search Beef and Beer Pie on this website you can see my step by step instructions.
