Slow Cooked Beef Stew with Lime

Serves 6 Prep Time 10 minutes   Cook Time 1 hours   Rated:

Although this takes longer than you would normally take to cook dinner, it is amazing. The flavours will meld together beautifully over the cooking time and it gets better with age...just like me!

The reason we are using a cheap cut of meat is because slow cooking it will make it melt in your mouth. If by chance you are in a hurry or have purchased something a bit more expensive, cut the cooking time by at least half. The problem then will be the split peas...but soak or use a tinned variety instead! Happy Days.
