Hearty Beef Stew

Eating Paleo does not mean it has to be all salads. This heart Beef stew was a winner. Left in the slow cooker whilst we was out at work so when we got home the house smelt amazing and dinner was done!
You need:
Stewing Steak. (I found some great quality, grass fed stewing steak at Aldi)
3 White Onions
What ever veggies you wish. I used carrots, turnips and parsnips.
2 garlic cloves
Inch of fresh ginger
1 whole red chilli
1pint of water.

You do:
Heat up a frying pan and sear the cubes of stewing steak. Once nicely browned put into the slow cooker.
Slice the onions and fry them in the same pan that the beef was in. The onions will brown and caramelise whilst soaking up the juices from the steak (mouth watering stuff this!) Once onions have browned add them into the slow cooker.
Add in your chopped veggies. Crushed garlic, thinly sliced ginger and the chilli (leaving it whole, this will be removed before serving) plus the pint of water.
Leave in slow cooker for around 6/7 hrs.

When I got home I realised I had some brussels left over so I quickly thinly sliced them and added them to the stew for the final minutes before serving.
It had been a miserable rainy day, so to come home to this warming hearty dinner was a treat. The warming taste of the chilli and ginger really bring it alive.
Enjoy!
