Gluten Free Beef Stew (Slow Cooker Recipe)

Step 1

Heat the butter in a large frying pan on a medium heat. Coat the diced beef in the flour and then add to the pan with the bacon lardons and fry for 4-5 minutes until the beef has browned on all sides. Pour into the slow cooker and put the pan back on the heat.

Step 2

Add the onion, carrot and mushrooms and fry in the pan for 2-3 minutes on a low-medium heat until the veg starts to soften and brown. Remove from the heat and pour into the slow cooker.

Step 3

Add the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker and stir well. Place the lid on and cook on high for 4-5 hours or low on 7-8 hours, until the beef is tender and falls apart, and you have a lovely, thick gravy. Serve with mashed potato or crispy jacket potatoes.
