Ingredients

500 g shin of beef
4 large carrots
2 onions
2 sticks celery
1 clove garlic
400 g tinned tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato puree
2 tablespoon cornflour
½ beef stock cube or stock pot
1 bay leaf or use rosemary or thyme
1 tablespoon caramelised onion chutney optional

Instructions

Peel and cut the onion into 2cm chunks. Wash the carrots and celery and cut into similar sized pieces. Peel and very finely chop the garlic.
Add the vegetables to the slow cooker, along with the bay leaf. Add the beef.
Stir the cornflour into 200ml cold water. Add the stock cube and tomato puree.
Add the cornflour mixture to the slow cooker along with the tinned tomatoes and onion chutney if using. Mix well.

If your shin on beef is on the bone, you can cook it whole in the slow cooker.
If you are on a gluten free diet, double check that your stock is gluten free.
