1 teaspoon juniper berries
½ teaspoon ground allspice berries
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Chop the steak into bite-sized pieces and put in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Lightly crush the juniper berries and sprinkle on top of the beef, along with the other herbs, spices and garlic.
Then put all the vegetables on top.
Dissolve the tomato puree in a little hot water and pour on top, then add the beef stock. The beef should be covered by the liquid but it doesn't mater if the vegetables are above the liquid.
Slow cook for about 8-10 hours.
If the stew is too watery, transfer to the oven top and simmer to reduce the liquid. You can also thicken it by dissolving some cornflour in a little cold water and stirring into the stew.
