Ingredients
- 500 g lean diced beef
- 130 g bacon lardons
- 2 tbsp plain gluten free flour
- 1 onion chopped
- 250 g chantenay carrots
- 750 g baby potatoes halve any particularly large ones

Instructions
- Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and fry the beef and bacon lardons for 4-5 minutes until browned. This step is optional but trust me, it's worth it as it intensifies the flavours of the stew.
- Add everything to the slow cooker and mix well.
- Place the lid on and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender. Serve straight away.
