Step 1

Pour 50g flour into a mixing bowl and add the mustard powder. Season with salt and pepper to suit your taste. You can add more seasoning later if required

Step 2

Add 700g stewing steak to the bowl and coat with flour, then place in the slow cooker pot. No need to brown the meat when using a slow cooker.

Step 3

Add to the meat 150ml water 350ml dark ale 1 Tbsp brown sugar 1 Tbsp garlic paste 1 Tsp Thyme 1 bay leaf 2 sliced onions 1 sliced celery stick.

Step 4

You can vary the cooking time to suit your schedule, we cooked ours on high for 6 hours. The meat was tender and the sauce rich and tasty. Remove the lid for the last 30 minutes of cooking time to help reduce and thicken the stock.

Step 5

The French serve this with Garlic Baguette. You can buy a ready made one or melt 50g butter and add 1 Tsp Garlic paste & 1 Tsp Parsley to it before spreading it on slices of Baguette. Then place under the grill or in the air fryer and cook until golden brown & crunchie.

Step 6

We made up some creamy mash potato and Julienne carrots to go with our Beef Carbonade, but you can add whatever takes your fancy. All I know is when I'd finished eating it I wanted to eat it again.
