Ingredients
Method
- 400g beef, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 mushrooms, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
- 1 tin tomatoes
Ingredients for side dishes

1. In a snaplock bag, add all ingredients and freeze.
2. Remove from the freezer the night before so it defrosts overnight.
3. Place ingredients in a slow cooker and cook for 5-6 hours on low; until the meat is easily falling apart.
4. If there is quite a bit of liquid, thicken with 2 Tbsp flour mixed with a small amount of water and stir through, cook on high for 10-15 mins to thicken up. Add more flour/water mix if needed.
5. Season your beef stew to taste and serve with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli.
