Promised to make this Weds night, but have only found one American recipe which has stuff in it i've never heard of!
Can anyone help? Ta xx

Hopeful bump for day crowd

Nobody?? Beef stew it is then

sorry not sure if I can help .. I have only had my slow cooker for a week or two. I did make a lovely beef casserole with red wine .. which was basically just beef, onion, mushroom, carrots, tomatoes, (a cheating jar of dolmio) and red wine. It was delicious!

i have one in my slow cooker recipe book, not tried it myself, but here it is ...

25g/2 tbs butter/marge
225g/8oz lean streak bacon, rinded and finely chopped

300ml red wine, preferably burgundy
10 ml/2tsp dried mixed hers
18 whole baby (pearl) onions or shallots

Lovely, thank you. Can i ask the name of your slow cooker book? Just spent ages in Waterstones, and not one of their books had a BB recipe in xxx

I did one the other day and dh said it was the best meal he ever had!

You need a heavy based casserole dish with lid.
One onion
stewing steak or other kind of cheap cut
1 large glass red wine
200 ml stock (beef)
celery
carrots
garlic
3 bay leaves.

Leave steak in one piece (or pieces) and brown all over in casserole dish.
Transfer to plate.
Add onions, carrots, celery. Fry until soft.
Now add the bay leaves, stock, wine, garlic aand meat. Turn it down as low as it will go and put on lid. Cook for 3 hours.

Take meat out and boil a third of the juices away. Add meat just to warm up and serve with creamy mash.

Meat literally melts in your mouth.
