Steps:
- Fry the onion and celery in 1 tbsp oil over a low heat until they start to soften – about 5 mins. Add the carrots, bay and thyme, fry for 2 mins, stir in the purée and Worcestershire sauce, add 600ml boiling water, stir and tip everything into a slow cooker. Crumble over the stock cubes or add the stock pots and stir, then season with pepper (don’t add salt as the stock may be salty).
- Clean out the frying pan and fry the beef in the remaining oil in batches until it is well browned, then tip each batch into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or on high for 4 hrs.
- If you want to thicken the gravy, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to make a paste, then stir in 2 tbsp of the liquid from the slow cooker. Tip back into the slow cooker, stir and cook for a further 30 mins on high. Stir in the parsley and season again to taste. Serve with mash, if you like. Leave to cool before freezing.

BEEF AND ALE STEW | BEEF RECIPES | JAMIE OLIVER RECIPES
A good stew is delicious, comforting, nutritious, homely, nostalgic, cheap to make and can be eaten and enjoyed in so many different ways. This basic stew will work every time and should be thought of as a principal recipe that you can chop and change, using different meats, herbs and liquids – think chicken or butter beans and white wine, lamb and red wine, or pork and cider. Stews are great to serve up for family dinners, because once they’re cooking away in the oven you’re free to do other things.

Steps:
- If using the oven to cook the stew, preheat it to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
- Put a large shallow ovenproof casserole pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Trim the celery, wash the carrots, peel the onions, then roughly chop it all about the same size as your beef chunks, adding the veg to the pan as you go.
- Season the veg with sea salt and black pepper, and fry for 10 minutes, or until softened and starting to caramelise, stirring occasionally.
- Strip in the rosemary leaves, stir in the flour for 2 minutes, then pour in the booze and let it cook away.
- Pour in the tomatoes, breaking them up with the back of the spoon. Fill the tin with water, swirl around, and pour into the pan.
- Bring just to the boil, then stir in the meat, season, and cover. Either simmer slowly on the hob or place in the oven for 2 hours, or until the meat falls apart easily.
- Taste the stew and tweak the seasoning, if needed, then serve with rice or mashed potato, and some lovely veggies, or check out the topping ideas below.
