Dumb questions, but I got a bunch of gravy beef from aldi. I was thinking about chucking it in the slowcooker with a couple of cans of vegtable stew and a couple of cans of cream of mushroom. then probs some actual mushrooms and water. Reckon this would work taste wise?
Normally when I do gravy beef I cut a bunch of the fat off, is that the right approach? Or do i just leave everything on?
A personal preference, but I don't like putting tins of soup in the slow cooker. I'd put in some beef stock, tinned tomatoes, garlic and veg. Red wine if you have it. Leave the fat on, coat in flour and brown in a pan first. Also fry the onion off too.
This is the wayβοΈ. I add a tablespoon of vegemite as well.
unfortunately i've tried this before and wasn't a huge fan. Cant have onion (or at least, cant have a lot of it) so thats probably where it all went wrong.
Will deffo flour and brown if first though.
