Slow Cooker Beef and Plum Casserole

June 8th 2010 02:10
The taste of this one is just insane. I love the sweet and savoury added together and it makes for a yummy dish. I found a potted recipe for this one to cook on the stovetop and changed it around a bit to make a slow cooker version - and now I have 4 meals frozen for later usage. Things I would like to improve on it are that it seemed a bit runny so in the last half hour I recommend stirring in some cornflour. I also recommend serving it with some spuds or rice - so just add three spuds to the recipe chopped into chunky bits. I have added my suggested improvements to the recipe.

slow cooker, recipe, beef and plum



YOU WILL NEED:
* 750gm gravy beef or chuck steak, chopped into 3cm cubes
* 1 lge brown onion chopped finely
* 2 garlic cloves chopped finely or crushed
* 2 medium sized carrots cut into half slices
* 3 medium parsnips cut the same as the carrots
* 3 spuds chopped into bit sized morsels
* 3 dried bay leaves
* 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary (or as I couldn't find some I used 2 tablespoons of the fresh rosemary in a tube)
* 1.5TBSP of worcestershire sauce
* 3/4 cup of plum jam
* 2 cups of beef stock
* cornflour for last half hour

YOU WILL NEED TO:
1) Put everything into the slow cooker (except the cornflour) and stir it around to mix thoroughly - the plum jam will break up once you put in the stock
2) Set on low for about 7hrs - in the last half hour turn to high and stir in the cornflour

3) Stir every hour to mix it up
4) Serve in a bowl with some fresh steamed broccoli or broccolini as a side dish
5) Enjoy the hell out of it!!

Hope you guys enjoy it Amy Went to Nepalese last night and it was a lot spicier that last time - I think they have a new chef and he has succumbed to overspicing as opposed to the normal aromatic cooking of the Nepalese. Also didn't help one of my friends was allergic to mushrooms and discovered them after big mouthfuls of the dish (goose). He vomited and had to leave. It was entertaining to say the least
