Ingredients
- 900 g (2 lbs) braising steak (chuck steak)
- 1 tsp salt , I used Maldon sea salt flakes
- ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil , or as needed
- 2 tbsp red wine (optional) to deglaze
- 4 banana shallots , sliced into thin strips (replace with 2 white onions)
- 3 large carrots , diced
- 3 celery sticks , diced
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or Sukrin Gold sweetener
- 1 tbsp beef bouillon powder (or stock cubes crushed to a powder)
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 300 ml (1 ¼ cups) beef broth (canned or made using Knorr stockpot)
- 60 ml (¼ cup) red wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tsp cornflour (cornstarch) diluted in 1 tbsp cold water
- fresh thyme , to garnish
Instructions
- Pat the steaks dry using kitchen paper. Cut any larger steaks in half and season liberally with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet or directly in the slow cooker if it has a browning setting. Allow the oil to get hot then sear the steak for a few minutes on both sides until nicely browned. Set the beef to one side.
- Pour a little broth or red wine into the hot pan to deglaze and use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits loose.
- Add the shallots, celery, carrots, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, broth, red wine (if using), salt, pepper, sugar, bay leaf and beef bouillon.
- Cover and cook on the LOW setting for up to 8 hours or the HIGH setting for 4-5 hours, or until the beef is really tender when pierced with a knife.
- Transfer some of the braising liquid and vegetables into a measuring jug. Stir in the cornstarch slurry, if using. Use an immersion blender to liquidize the vegetables.
- Stir this back into the slow cooker and heat through on the HIGH setting for 20-30 minutes (the cornflour needs to come to a simmer in order to thicken the gravy).
- Discard the bay leaf. Check and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with the thyme and serve the fall-apart tender braised steaks with the vegetables and gravy over mashed potatoes, baked potatoes or rice with a side of cabbage or steamed greens.
