Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Waitrose Beef Topside
- 2 tbsp Plain flour
- 1 tbsp Dried or fresh thyme
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Cloves Garlic Peeled
- 2 Large Onions Peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 Large Carrots Peeled and chopped into chunks
- 400 g Beef consommé soup
- 1 beef stock pot
Instructions
-
Sprinkle your flour, thyme, garlic powder and salt and pepper onto a chopping board. Dry off your topside with some kitchen paper and then roll all over in the flour mixture.
-
Heat your oil in a large frying pan, or if your slow cooker allows it, by putting the cooking dish onto the hob. Brown off the flour coated meat on all sides.
-
Remove the meat from the pan and add the garlic, onions and carrots and brown for 5 minutes until starting to soften. If you're using your slow cooker pan, add the meat back in. If you're using a frying pan, transfer everything to your slow cooker pan.
-
Pour in the tin of beef consommé and add a beef stock pot.
-
Cook on HIGH for 5 hours or LOW for 7 hours.
-
When cooked, remove the meat to a pan, along with some of the whole cooked carrots (as many as you can fish out!). Blend the rest of the liquid, onions and garlic to make a thick and delicious gravy to pour over.

Enjoy!
