Meat
New England beef
2.5 litres 4.5 litres
Piece of topside 1 kg 1.5 kg
Bouquet garni 1 1
Thyme 1 tsp 1
1
/2 tsp
Black peppercorns 1 tsp 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
ceramic pot. Place the ceramic pot in
the slow cooker base. Place the lid
onto the slow cooker. Cook for
approximately 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
ceramic pot. It should fit into the
ceramic 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.
