Instructions

Add the beef and flour to a bowl and mix well.
Heat the oil in a frying pan or in the pot of the slow cooker if you have one that can be used on the hob.
Add the beef and fry until browned. I tend to do this in two batches.
Add the beef to the slow cooker along with the rest of the ingredients except the parsley.
Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.
This is optional but once cooked you can sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve with green vegetables.

Notes

Leftovers can be kept in a container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated on the hob or in the microwave. This stew can also be frozen and defrosted overnight in the fridge before reheating.
