Slow cooked beef with anchovies - yum!

[brennannbooth]

Mad a random beef stew in the slow cooker today and added anchovies as I'd heard this works well with beef - it is really delicious!

The other ingredients were carrots, butternut squash, onions, garlic and beef stock.

If I'd had red wine and mushrooms I would have used them and not put in any root veg. But would it have been as nice?

Wine and my slow cooker don't seem to mix . I can make a great winey stew in the oven but when I put wine in the slow cooker it comes out tasting metalic.

That sounds great, I may try it tomorrow as I was planning slow cooked beef. We tried a Hugh FW recipe which has anchovies with roast lamb, was v nice.
