Ingredients
- 650 grams stewing steak lean, visible fat removed, cubed
- 4 rashers bacon lean, visible fat removed, chopped
- 150 grams baby onions peeled
- 100 grams button mushrooms peeled
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 medium sized carrots cut into bitesized chunks
- 300 ml red wine
- 3 tbsp beef gravy granules I use Bisto
- Low calorie cooking spray
Instructions
The Instant Pot Method
- Turn your Instant Pot on to the saute setting. Spritz with low calorie cooking spray, then saute the stewing steak for 5-10 minutes or until sealed. Add the onion, bacon, and carrots, and continue to sizzle for a further 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients, except the mushrooms, and 150ml of hot water. Stir thoroughly.
- Turn your Instant Pot on to the slow cooker setting, and cook for at least 4 hours (it's fine to leave it on longer for your convenience). When there's just 1 hour left, add the mushrooms and stir well.
- Serve and enjoy!
The Oven Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- In a heavy based pan, over a medium to high heat, add some low calorie spray and then brown the stewing steak for 5-10 minutes or until sealed. Add the bacon and onions, and fry for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in the carrots, wine, tomato puree, bay leaves, and mushrooms, and transfer to a casserole dish with a lid. Cook for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven, add 150ml of boiling water, and sprinkle over the gravy granules. Stir well. Add the mushrooms.
- Return to the oven for half an hour, or until the meat is tender.
- Serve and enjoy!
