Beef Stew
Freezer meal. Makes 3 dishes which serve 4. Stores well for 4 weeks.
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 tbsp dried thyme
- 1.5 kgs beef cubes
- 3 tbsp cornflour
- 10 baby potatoes (quartered)
- 1 kgs mixed vegetables (I use a pea, corn and baby carrot mix)
- 1 sachet brown onion soup
-
In a heavy bottom pan, fry the onions, in half the oil, till translucent
-
Add the thyme and fry until fragrant
-
Place the fried onions in the bottom of the slow cooker
-
Coat the beef cubes with the corn flour
-
Fry the beef cubes in the remaining oil until browned
-
Place the meat on top of the onion and thyme
-
Add the potatoes and then the vegetables to the pot
-
In the pan, place the water and bring to the boil
-
This will loosen the caramelized onion, thyme and cornflour
-
Remove the pan from the heat
-
Mix the brown onion soup into the water and pour over the vegetables, ensuring that all the food is just covered
-
Cook on low for 12 hours, or until the potatoes are soft
-
Cool and decant into oven and freezer proof containers
