Ingredients

  • 5 rashers of smoked streaky bacon

  • 200g of stewing beef, cut into 10 equal pieces

  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil

  • 1 white onion, roughly chopped

  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 3 teaspoons paprika

  • 3 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes

Method

  1. Cut the rashers in half and wrap around the beef pieces. Use a cocktail stick to secure them in place.

  2. Heat the sunflower oil in a heavy frying pan and brown off the rashers and beef. Remove the meat once brown and place into a slow cooker. Add the onions and garlic to the frying pan and soften in the cooking oils from the meat. Once softened pour the frying pan contents into the slow cooker.

  3. Add the paprika, carrots, and chopped tomatoes to the slow cooker and stir. Cook in high for 4-5 hours. Season to taste and serve with creamy mash or boiled rice.
