Beef and Broccoli Stew

Meat meets vegetable in this basic but effective stew! I enjoyed mine with petit poi’s and scatter of spring onions but could also be enjoyed with rice or potatoes for that carb fix.

Ingredients

Serves 2

• 400g stewing beef, chopped into chunks

• 1 white onion, diced

• 4tbsp soy sauce

• 2 tbsp hoisin sauce

• 1 tbsp ginger paste

• 2 tbsp chilli sauce

• 4 garlic cloves, crushed

• 2 tsp rice wine vinegar

• 1 tbsp cornflour

• 1-2 heads of broccoli, chopped

Directions

1. Heat a little oil in a pan, fry off the beef until browned and set aside

2. Fry off onions until start to soften, the add the garlic and ginger paste for 1 minute

3. Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker, season and mix. If you want the broccoli to remain some crunch, hold off adding the broccoli until 2 hours before serving if on low, 1 hours if on high

4. Cook on 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high
