Slow Cooker Spiced Beef and Autumn Veg

Slow Cooker Spiced Beef and Autumn Veg

A warming Spiced Beef and Autumn Vegetable recipe taken from Four Seasons Cookbook.

Meltingly tender, slow-cooked beef with chunks of golden vegetables and warming spices make this an ideal dish to serve up when the nights are drawing in.

Ingredients

Vegetable oil 2 tbsp

Onions 2, peeled and sliced

Carrots 2 large, peeled and sliced

Garlic 2 cloves, peeled and crushed

Ground coriander 2 tsp

Ground cumin 2 tsp

Ground ginger 2 tsp

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Beef shin 900g (2lb), cut into 2cm (¾in) thick pieces

Clear honey 1 tbsp

Couscous and chopped fresh coriander or mint to serve

Instructions

1

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the onions, carrots and garlic for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables to a slow cooker pot. Put the lid on and switch the cooker on to the low setting.

Transfer the beef to the slow cooker, add the cinnamon stick and pour over the stock. Put the lid back on and cook on the low setting for 7 hours.
