Calories: 509kcal
Ingredients
- 1 kg 2.2lbs beef brisket (or chuck roast/stewing beef)
- 600 g potatoes about 4 medium
- 400 g carrots about 3-4 medium
- 200 g onions about 2 medium
- 3 tbsp tapioca flour see note 1
- 300 ml beef stock
- 100 ml red wine
- 330 ml can of stout beer I used First Chop's gluten-free POD Vanilla Stout
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme (see note 2)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Dice the veggies and add them to the slow cooker.
- Dice the meat into beef chunks.
- Sprinkle the outside of the meat with tapioca starch (or cornflour/arrowroot) and mix it together until each piece is coated.
- Add the meat to the slow cooker.
- Add in the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper for flavor.
- Pour the beef broth, wine, and stout over it all.
- Cover with lid and stew beef on high for 3-4 hours, or low and slow for 7-8 hours.
- Thicken (optional): If you need to add more starch at the end to make the stew thicker, remove 1/4 cup of broth from the slow cooker, add a tablespoon of starch/flour, mix until well combined, add another 1/4 cup of broth, mix together than add back into the slow cooker and stir. You can use tapioca or cornstarch.
- Serve over your favorite mash!
Notes
- Tapioca starch: You can substitute cornstarch or arrowroot flour.
- Thyme: You can use up to 1 tsp of dried thyme if you prefer a more herby flavor, or use 1-2 sprigs of fresh thyme.
- My favorite mash to serve this beef stew over is my Parsnip and Red Chili Puree (click for the recipe link).
