Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Start by preparing the veggies: peel and cut the potatoes in half, peel and chop the carrots into 2-3 big pieces, and chop the celery sticks into 2-3 pieces too.
  • Peel and quarter the onions and peel the garlic cloves.
  • Add the beef to the slow cooker, season it with salt and pepper, dried herbs, and add the tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Mix the cornflour with 2-3 tablespoons of the beef broth, and mix well to have a smooth texture, then pour it over the beef and veggies together with the remaining broth.
  • Place the lid on and cook on high for 5 hours, or on low for 9-10 hours.
  • You can garnish it with fresh parsley if you wish, the beef can either be sliced or cut into chunks or shredded.

Notes

If the gravy is not as thick as you like it once the beef and veggies are cooked, you have 2 options:
  • you can remove the beef and veggies from the crockpot, and add more cornflour mixed with water to the liquid in the slow cooker and cook the gravy it for a further 20 minutes or until it's thicker
  • you can transfer the liquid to a pan set over a medium heat on the stove top, add 1-2 tablespoons of cornflour mixed with water to it, and simmer it until it thickens
