Method

  • Rub olive oil over the beef and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large frying pan over high heat and sear the meat; transfer to the slow cooker.
  • Add the remaining ingredients with half the cornflour and stir well; cover with a lid and cook on LOW for 5 hours or HIGH for 3 hours.
  • Once cooked, remove the beef from the slow cooker, cover with foil to keep warm and rest for 30 minutes.
  • Strain the cooking liquor into a saucepan and discard the vegetables. Stir in the remaining dissolved cornflour and boil, then reduce the temperature and simmer to a thick gravy.
  • Slice the cooked beef and serve with vegetables of your choice; drizzle with warm gravy and serve immediately.
