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 cookerIt makes 5 generous serves. Freezers well.
