- 1 oz (30 g) dried mushrooms
- 1 lb (500 g) cremini or white mushrooms, quartered
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped shallots, or 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped inner celery stalks with leaves
- 6 anchovy fillets, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

- 1/3 cup (75 mL) dry white wine
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) tomato paste

- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) whipping cream
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) finely chopped parsley
Preparation
Cut beef into 1/2-inch/1 cm cubes, trimming off most of the fat (yielding about 2 lb/1 kg trimmed meat); place in slow cooker. Sprinkle flour over top; stir to coat.
In fine sieve, briefly rinse dried mushrooms under cold water. Add to slow cooker with cremini mushrooms, shallots, celery, anchovies, garlic, bay leaf, wine, tomato paste, salt, thyme, pepper, cloves and nutmeg; stir until well mixed. Dot with butter.
Cook until beef is tender, 3-1/2 to 4 hours on high, 7 to 8 hours on low. Remove bay leaf. Stir in cream; cook on high for 15 minutes. Stir in parsley.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
