Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Ingredients

Serves 4

800g beef on the bone or oxtail

2tbsp plain flour to coat

2tbsp groundnut oil

1 beef stockpot or a beef stock cube dissolved in 500ml boiling water

300g shallots, peeled and trimmed

300g carrots

500g small new potatoes

Salt and pepper seasoning

Method

Toss the beef pieces in flour seasoned with salt and black pepper.

Over a medium heat in a large frying pan, heat the oil and fry the coated beef until it is brown all over.

Lay the browned meat in the base of the slow cooker. Cover with the shallots, carrots, potatoes, beef stock and seasoning.

Cook on the slowcooker’s “high” setting for 4-6 hours.

Tips: I use Chantenay carrots that can go into the slow cooker whole. If you do not have a slow cooker, increase the stock volume by 50 per cent and use a large casserole dish with a lid, and cook on gas mark 4 for about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
