Stew Beef (Cooked with a slower cooker) 蔬菜牛肉湯

Ingredients:

2 pounds beef shank meat, (cut into bite-sized pieces)

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp pepper

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 celery ribs, sliced

2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

150 ml can tomato paste

3 table spoons of chicken stock

4 cups of water

2 cups carrots

5 small red potatoes ,cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon oregano

1/4 cup flour

1/4 cup water

Directions:

1. Combine beef, celery, carrots, red onion, potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, oregano, chicken, 4 cups water, and tomato paste in the crock pot. I used a 5 qt crockpot for this stew.  Cook on LOW for 10 hours or on HIGH for 6-7 hours.
2. (Optional) Before serving, mix the flour and the water together in a small dish and pour into the crockpot. Mix until well combined. This will add a nice thickness to the stew.
