Growing up, my mum’s braised steak & onions was a classic—but let’s be real, I wasn’t exactly obsessed with it as a kid. Fast forward to now, and I’ve given it a major upgrade! My new version of Braised Beef & Onions is pure comfort goals—tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef in a rich, velvety stew, just begging to be served over creamy mash. 

This one is going to be a game-changer for anyone still buying the canned Braised Beef & Onions!

Freezer Prep Meal Plan Info – How to Make as a Dump Bag

This recipe features in the Freezer Prep Meal Plan located in the presale bonus located in the ‘Meal Plan Collection’ download and has a matching print-at-home label. 

To make as a ‘dump bag’ we follow the Slow Cooker variation for the recipe and do the following.

1. Follow the Slow Cooker variation – Omit the water and double the recipe. 
2. To make the sauce – leave the water and beef out, but double everything else. Cook the recipe and stop after Step 2. Omit the flour or you can cook it a little at the end of the onion sauté. Combine all ingredients except the beef and cornflour. 
3. Chill the sauce – you need to chill the sauce before adding into the dump bag with the raw meat.
4. Attach label to a large snaplock bag or desired container. The labels are print-at-home and are 6 labels to an A4 page.
5. Combine sauce and raw meat in a large snaplock bag or desired container. Try to remove as much air as possible to avoid freezer burn & Freeze your ‘dump bag’.
6. DEFROST TO USE: It is best to defrost the day before in the fridge as you don’t want to add frozen food to the slow cooker.  
7. “Dump” the contents of the freezer bag into the slow cooker and cook for 8-10 hr on low. 
8. With 20 min to go, add cornflour mixture. You may like to increase if needed, if you didn’t use flour to thicken.

Please note – this is for use with a slow cooker and not the TM6 slow cooker function. To use the slow cooker function in the Thermomix, you need the recipe to be specifically created with a maximum 800g of meat and a minimum amount of liquid.

We double the recipe for recipes that will potentially dry out in a large slow cooker, if you don’t want to double the recipe and have a smaller slow cooker then you are welcome to use your best judgement and not double.
