Meat
New England beef
1.5kg piece of topside
1 bouquet garni
1 1/2 tsp thyme
1 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
8 shallots
400g carrots, sliced

remaining ingredients, cover and
bring to a simmer. Season well and

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.

IMPORTANT
When buying a joint of meat, make
sur
e that it will fit into the cr
ock 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.
