Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein
- 500 g diced beef
- 100 g chorizo, chopped
Vegetables
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 150 g carrots, cut into chunks
- 300 g mushrooms, halved
Liquids and Sauces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 150 ml red wine
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp gluten free Worcestershire sauce
Dry Ingredients and Seasonings
- 2 tbsp plain gluten free flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 gluten free beef stock pot
Instructions
- Prepare the chorizo: Add the olive oil to a large pan and heat over medium heat. Add the chopped chorizo and fry for 2-3 minutes until starting to crisp up. Remove the chorizo from the pan, leaving the oil behind, and transfer it to the slow cooker.
- Brown the beef: Coat the diced beef in the gluten free flour. Add the beef to the frying pan with the chorizo oil and fry for 3-4 minutes, turning to brown all sides evenly. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same pan, fry the chopped onion, carrot chunks, and halved mushrooms for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until slightly softened. Add these vegetables to the slow cooker.
- Add remaining ingredients and cook: Pour in the red wine, chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, and crumble in the beef stock pot. Stir everything well to combine in the slow cooker. Cover with the lid.
- Slow cook the stew: Cook the stew on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours, until the beef is tender and flavors meld beautifully. Stir well before serving hot.
Notes
- Using gluten free flour and stock pot ensures the stew is safe for gluten intolerances.
- Beef chuck or stewing beef works best for slow cooking as it becomes tender over time.
- The red wine adds depth; if preferred, replace with extra beef stock for a non-alcoholic version.
- For an extra smoky flavor, use smoked chorizo if available.
- Serve with crusty gluten free bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
