Slow Cooker Hearty Beef & Vegetable Casserole

Ingredients:

Slow Cooker Hearty Beef & Vegetable Casserole

150mL Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce
1 kg chuck steak, cut into 4 cm cubes
2 tablespoons plain flour
3 tablespoons (60 mL) olive oil
4x bacon rashers, rind removed, then cut into thin match sticks
1 onion, cut into thin wedges
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 x 400g can diced tomatoes
1x 400g can cannellini beans
2 carrots, halved lengthways, then cut into quarters
1 red capsicum, diced
1 cup red wine
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried
3 springs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
Extra tablespoon (20mL) Kikkoman Less Salt Soy sauce
Steamed green beans and baby new potatoes, to serve
Chopped parsley, to serve

Method:

Slow Cooker Hearty Beef & Vegetable Casserole

Place steak in a flat, non-metallic dish. Pour over Less Salt Soy Sauce making sure all meat is well coated. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour (long for a deeper flavour)
Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels to prevent burning
Place the flour on a flat dish and coat the beef cubes
Preheat a large fry pan on medium/high, add the olive oil, and when hot, brown the beef on all sides. (Brown the beef in batches, so that it browns easily, otherwise it will tend to steam, not brown.)
Add into slow cooker, then add all the remaining ingredients, mixing well
Cook on high for 4-6 hours, or low for 6-8 hours. Top with chopped parsley

Tips & Hints:

Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce can be substituted for Kikkoman Less Salt Soy Sauce if desired.
Instead of a slow cooker, this casserole can be cooked slowly in the oven for 3 hours at 180°C
This dish can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Why Martin Benn chooses Kikkoman

Video Desc:
When it comes to flavour, there's no doubt Martin Benn is a chef who knows his stuff. His restaurant, Sepia focuses on seafood, and reflects his training in French cooking as well as a Japanese influence following his years with Tetsuya.
"Kikkoman Soy Sauce is naturally brewed and brings taste to whatever you're cooking,” Martin says. "Many other soy sauce brands are chemically enhanced to give the flavour, which leads to unbalanced and dominating flavours. Kikkoman Soy Sauce also has a depth of colour that complements the richness of soups and stocks.”
Martin also uses Kikkoman Soy Sauce in his cooking as a replacement for salt. "It's like using a liquid seasoning so you don't have the granulated texture so you are able to balance a dish much more easily.”
