Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Boil half a kettle and turn on your slow cooker to high
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a high heat
Once hot, add your diced beef and bacon lardons, and cook for 5-6 min or until the beef is browned and the bacon is golden
Meanwhile, slice your chestnut mushrooms finely
Peel and chop your shallot[s] in quarters
Top, tail and cut your carrot[s] in half lengthways, then slice on the diagonal
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Combine 75ml [100ml] [130ml] boiled water with your red wine stock – this is your stock
Once the beef has browned, add 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] flour to the pan and cook for 1 min
Add the stock to the pan and bring to the boil over a high heat
Tip: Scrape any bits from the bottom of the pan as this will add extra flavour to the sauce!
Once boiling, transfer everything from the pan to the slow cooker
Add the sliced mushrooms with the chopped shallots, sliced carrot and half the chopped garlic (you'll use the rest later!)
Add your finely chopped tomatoes with your marmite, tomato paste, beef stock mix and dried bay leaf[ves]
Give everything a good mix up, then cover and cook on high for 4 hours – this is your slow cooker beef & bacon bourguignon
Once the beef & bacon bourguignon has 20 min left, boil a kettle
Peel your potatoes and chop them into large, bite-sized pieces
Add the chopped potatoes to a pot with plenty of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender
Once done, drain and return to the pot to steam dry
Return the potatoes to a low heat with a knob of butter and a splash of milk and mash until smooth – this is your mash
Wash your shredded kale
Once the potatoes are nearly ready, heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a little drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the shredded kale and the remaining chopped garlic with a small splash of water and cook for 2-3 in or until wilted – this is your garlic kale
Discard the bay leaf[ves]
Serve the slow cooker beef & bacon bourguignon with the mash and garlic kale to the side
Enjoy!
