Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large lidded frying pan, a slow cooker (if using), a measuring jug & a peeler

Start the prep

  • Cut the onion into 1cm thick wedges. Halve the carrot lengthways, then cut into 1cm half-moons. Dice the potato into 2cm chunks (peel optional). Thinly slice the spring onion greens, cut the spring onion whites into 2cm pieces
  • In the measuring jug, dissolve the beef stock and miso paste in 350ml hot water (200ml for 1 person)

Build the dish

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef, onion wedges and spring onion whites and cook for 6 mins. Season with salt and pepper
  • Sprinkle in half the cornflour and cook for a further 1 min, until everything is coated, then add the ginger garlic paste, gochujang and carrots. Cook for 1 min, until the beef is golden and cooked through

Time to slow cook

  • Stir in the potatoes and stock mixture and bring to a boil, then transfer to your slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours
  • If using the hob, pop a lid on, and simmer for 18-20 mins, until the potatoes are soft

Final steps

  • Dissolve the remaining cornflour to the measuring jug with 50ml cold water (25ml for 1 person)
  • When the stew has 5 mins remaining, add the cornflour mix and the sugar snap peas and cook for the remaining time, until the sauce thickens

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Share the beef stew between bowls, topped with the remaining spring onion, sesame seeds and kimchi
