Ingredients
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 300 g packet of smoked bacon (fat removed)
- 2 onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed
- 300 ml of red wine
- 1 kg lean stewing beef, cubed
- 30 g cornflour
- 1 tbsp. thyme
- 20 g tomato puree
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 150g mushrooms, halved
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and brown the bacon and onions. This makes them taste about ten times better.
- Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
- Pour in the wine and let it reduce by a third—basically, let it bubble away and get all intense and yummy.
- Tip everything into the slow cooker, then add the beef, cornflour, thyme, tomato purée, salt, carrots, and mushrooms.
- Give it all a good stir, put the lid on, and walk away for 8 hours while your house starts to smell like a Parisian bistro.
- Serve with mash, rice, crusty bread, or just a spoon and a dream.
