few bay leaves.

Do you honestly think that you’d find these in stock anywhere in Tipperary?

Try a few ragwort leaves mate

[backinatracksuit]

There needs to be plenty of fat in that beef, don’t be going for the good stuff @caulifloweredneanderthal, a bit of shin beef or brisket is the way to go, cook for about 12 hours,
@anon7035031 recipe is good

[anon7035031]

I thought he escaped Tipperary?

[anon7035031]

“good quality” stewing beef means high in collagen (and fat), I use a chuck roast and cut it into large chunks.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

12 hours?

I’m cooking for roasters. They’ll probably want to eat before the hurling is on

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

I spent many’s the summer clearing ragwort with the auld lad

You can put it on before they arrive. I think youv missed the key point of the slow cooker pal

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

I’m not putting it on at 4am pal

[gilgamboa]

You could pit it on before you go to bed the night before…or just give it 10 hours…or 8…the slow cooker isnt precise

[anon7035031]

Don’t mind these Cork nutters, 6 hours on the low setting or 3 hours on the high setting.

[backinatracksuit]

No offence mate, id usually listen to you on these matters but a slow cooker stew needs to take minimum 8 hours if you’re using a decent stewing beef, you’d want to use sirloin if only leaving three hours.
@caulifloweredneanderthal I meant for you to cook it the day before or overnight

[anon7035031]

Maybe if it’s a 1950s vintage crockpot.
What make and model of slow cooker do you have @caulifloweredneanderthal

Is it one of these?

Agreed. 8 hours minimum for beef stew. Stew on the hob would be 2 hours shur.

[TreatyStones]

8 hours is absolutely loads. Anything beyond that is pointless

[anon7035031]

Christ, roaster paradise here.

A fucking slow cooker that was manufactured in the past 2-3 decades has two settings, high and low. You are searing the meat first so it’s a bit more sophisticated that just firing everything into the cooker and pressing the start button. OK I’ll compromise, 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.

also, can lads who know absolutely nothing about cooking like @Horsebox stfu

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

I better go check the press

[backinatracksuit]

Absolutely not mate, if you had a bit of shin beef or cheeks or something really great like that you could cook it for well over 12 hours on a low and slow cook and you’d never taste better stew, if you want to horse in the cubed beef from Tesco work away for 3 hours by all means but it’s not going to be up to much.

So 3-8 hours then, not 3 as you originally stated.

[anon7035031]

Fucksake, the recipe given is boeuf bourguignon, not an old stew a farmer would throw together in Ballydehob. Do you think a classically trained French chef would use shin beef?
