Servings: persons

1 1/4 kg rolled beef (topside with no added fat)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 red onions, peeled and quartered
1/2 a celeriac, peeled and cut into chunks
12 shatanay carrots, peeled and halved lengthways
4 garlic cloves
2 beef bouillon cubes
400 ml just boiled water
100 ml red wine
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried herbs
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons gravy mix

1
Preheat slow cooker.
2
Heat oil in a large pan (I find a wok is best), and carefully brown beef on all sides, turning with two wooden spoons. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
3
Add the vegetables and garlic to the pan and, stirring regularly, cook for 5 mins until the onions are beginning to go soft.
4
Transfer the vegetables to warmed crock pot and place the beef on top, push the beef down so it nestles among the vegetables.
5
Dissolve the stock cube in the just boiled water, add the wine, oregano, mixed herbs and pepper.
6
Pour over the beef, add the bay leaf and cover. Cook on auto for 8-10 hours or low for 10-12 hours.
7
Once the beef is cooked, carefully remove from the crock pot and place on a warmed serving platter. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and arrange around the beef. Cover and keep warm.
8
For the gravy, ladle the liquid left in the crock pot into a saucepan, stir in the gravy granules and bring to the boil, simmer for 2 minutes.
9
Serve with mashed potatoes and savoy cabbage.
