Slow Cooked Beef in Red Wine

Slow Cooker Beef in Red Wine- a simple way to cook cheap cuts of beef with a rich red wine gravy. Perfect for a fuss-free Sunday dinner.

Jump to Recipe

I absolutely love this slow-cooked beef. Now that buying a decent cut of beef for roasting is so expensive, this is the best way I have found to have beef for Sunday dinner. Slow-cooked in red wine, with onion and carrots, it's a really easy way to cook cheaper cuts of beef. It also really reminds me of the food my nana would serve up when we went to visit her- simple, hearty and comforting.

Top Tips

• Don't use any good quality drinking red wine to make this recipe. I tend to use the bottles that come with supermarket meal deals.
• Use classic cuts of 'cheap' beef such as stewing steak, beef rib trim or shin for example. 
• I use carrots and onions and serve with accompaniments, but you can add more vegetables, or pulses if you want to make it a whole meal in one.
