This family friendly, slow cooker beef casserole is a go-to in our house. I tailored the recipe to suit a baby/toddlers palete – with melt in the mouth meat, and onions and carrots which are diced or grated so the final sauce is quite smooth!
Slow cooker recipes are great when you have a busy day ahead – a few moments of prep in the morning is so worth it when you get home later that day!
This slow cooker beef stew can be frozen in individual toddler/kid sized portions to make future meals a bit easier, or eaten and enjoyed by the whole family, too!

Prep Time

Cook Time

Total Time
5 hours 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil
- 500g lean braising steak
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 onion
- 2 tsp lazy garlic or 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp plain flour (can be gluten free)
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Begin by dicing the onion into fine little pieces, and peeling and grating the carrot
- If the beef isn't already choped into bitesized pieces, do that now
- Then, heat oil in a large non-stick pan
- Add in the onions and carrots - and allow to cook for a 3 minutes, or until the onion is beginning to soften and brown a little
- Then, add in the beef and garlic - stir to combine everything and then cook until the beef is no longer pink on the outside
- Next, add in the flour and stir - this will thicken the sauce and absorb some of the oil in the pan
- Then, turn off the heat - pour in the remainder of the ingredients, stir to combine
- Transfer it all to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, medium for 6 or high for 4
- Once cooked, if the sauce is thinner than you'd like - add in a tbsp of gravy granules to thicken the sauce
- Then serve and enjoy!
