↪️2 tablespoons plain flour

↪️1 beef stock cube

↪️1 packet Colman’s beef casserole mix

↪️Mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, potatoes, celery, onions)

↪️Salt and black pepper, to taste

↪️A little oil for searing

🔹️For the Yorkshire Pudding:

↪️140g plain flour

↪️4 eggs

↪️200ml milk

↪️Vegetable oil

👉Method:

🔸️Beef Stew:

✅️2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and sear the beef until browned on all sides.

✅️3. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.

✅️4. Add the chopped vegetables, beef stock cube, and Colman’s beef casserole mix according to the package instructions.

✅️5. Cook on low for 8 hours, until the beef is tender and flavorful.

👉Yorkshire Pudding:

↪️1. In a bowl, whisk together the flour and eggs until smooth.

↪️2. Gradually add the milk, whisking until you have a lump-free batter.

↪️3. Let the batter rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

↪️4. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-assisted (or 200°C conventional).

↪️5. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil into your pudding tins and heat in the oven for at least 20 minutes until the oil is very hot.

↪️6. Quickly pour the batter into the hot oil and bake for 15–20 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.

Slow Cooker Beef Joint with Garlic and Rosemary

Slow Cooker Beef Joint Sunday Roast

👉Ingredients:

↪️1 beef joint

↪️A dash of oil

↪️200 ml light (watery) beef gravy

↪️Salt and pepper to taste

↪️A sprinkle of rosemary

👉Method:

✅️1. Pour a small dash of oil into the bottom of your slow cooker.

✅️2. Place the beef joint inside and gently move it around to lightly coat the bottom of the beef with the oil.

✅️3. Prepare 200 ml of a thin, watery beef gravy, and pour it into the slow cooker over the beef.

✅️4. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of rosemary for extra flavor.

✅️5. Set the slow cooker to high heat and cook for 4 to 5 hours.

✅️6. After the time is up, slice the beef. Then use two forks to pull it apart into shreds.

◾️Tip: The beef should pull apart easily. If it feels tough or hard to shred, put it back into the slow cooker and cook it for a little longer.

✅️7. Once shredded, set the slow cooker to low heat and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 hours to make it even more tender and flavorful.

👉4 Helpful Tips:

🔹️Tip 1: For extra flavor, you can brown the beef in a hot pan before placing it in the slow cooker.

🔹️Tip 2: Use fresh rosemary if you can — it gives a stronger, fresher aroma than dried rosemary.

🔹️Tip 3: You can add chopped onions or carrots to the slow cooker for more flavor and a ready-made side dish.

🔹️Tip 4: Always taste the gravy at the end and adjust seasoning if needed — sometimes a little extra salt brings everything together!
