Meat
New England beef
2.5 litres 4.5 litres
Piece of topside 1 kg 1.5 kg
Bouquet garni 1 1
Thyme 1tsp 1
1/2
tsp
Black peppercorns 1tsp 1
1/2
tsp
Shallots 4 8
Carrots, sliced 225g 400g
Swede, diced 100g 200g
Method
Put the beef into a pan and cover
with cold water. Add all the
remaining ingredients, cover and
bring to a simmer. Season well and
then transfer all the ingredients to
the slow crock pot. Place the crock
pot in the slow cooker base. Place
the lid over onto the slow cooker.
Cook for approx. 5 - 7 hours. Take
the beef out of the slow cooker with
a slotted spoon and allow to cool
for 10 minutes. The cooking liquid
can be used as a base to make
gravy. Cut the beef into slices and
spoon a little of the cooking liquid
over. Serve with vegetables and
garnish with fresh parsley.
IMPORTANT: When buying a joint of
meat, make sure that it will fit the
slow cook pot. It should fit into the
crock pot so that when it is covered
with liquid it will still be 2.5cm
below the rim of the pot. The joint
must not stick out above the rim
and there should be enough room
to cover the meat with water. The
shape of the meat is just as
important as the weight.
