Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 500g beef brisket
- 1.5 carrots
- 1 onion
- 1 potato
- 200g mushrooms
- 4 garlic cloves
Seasonings
- 175ml red wine
- Butter or olive oil, as needed
- 4 tablespoons tomato paste or ketchup
- 1 tablespoon flour
- Fresh or dried rosemary, as desired
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Steps
1. Slice mushrooms in half. Cut potatoes and carrots into chunks, and chop the onion into large pieces. Cut the beef brisket into large chunks and pat dry.
2. Set the BUYDEEM Slow Cooker to Sear-Low mode. Add butter or olive oil, sear the beef until golden on all sides, then add onions and garlic and sauté briefly.
3. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the beef and vegetables evenly.
4. Pour in the red wine and enough water to just cover the beef. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. Add mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes. Stir in tomato paste and rosemary (or other herbs of your choice). Bring to a boil and skim off any foam.
6. Switch to Slowcook-Low mode and cook for about 4 hours (adjust time based on the amount of liquid and desired tenderness). After cooking, switch to Sear-High to reduce the sauce to your preferred thickness.
Tips
- Cutting the beef into large chunks ensures it remains tender after slow cooking.
- Flour helps naturally thicken the sauce—no extra thickening needed.
- Use a medium-bodied dry red wine; no need for expensive bottles.
- The multi-functional BUYDEEM Slow Cooker makes cooking effortless: searing, slow cooking, and sauce reduction in one appliance.
- For softer vegetables, cut them smaller or extend the cooking time slightly.
