About

This dish needs time to let all its aromatic flavours intermingle and for the beef to become tender while retaining its moisture. Stick on the slow-cooker when you head out for the day and you’ll return home to a warm and hearty plate of food when you need it most. You can of course cook this at a low temperature in a conventional oven, but you can’t leave it to its own devices in quite the same way.
