Well all the meat is now in my slow cooker & will add the veg a bit later on. No doubt the annoyance of the gorgeous smell during cooking will get my mouth watering, but that is the price I will have to pay until I serve it up tomorrow.

Just to say a massive thank you to all those that replied to this thread, the stew was delicious & while I ended up steaming the vegetables separately, it came out really well. I made enough to last for three days & finally finished it last night & as other posters pointed out, the flavour becomes richer as each day passes.

Thanks again everyone, you are much appreciated.

OP did you put the lamb and beef all in the stew together?

Agreed. They are also quite tasty cold too. 😀
