Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has tried this? I have a day off tomorrow, i have 1kg of good quality cubed beef from a decent butchers and lots of onions to use up. I'm wondering if it's possible to start on the hob for an hour or so then transfer to a slow cooker? I'm concerned it might significantly alter the end product if i do? Any thoughts from the forum would be appreciated.

Im am just trying to work out if thats bert or ernie......
OP: Starting on the hob wouldn't be a problem as long as you don't let the onions brown too much. Might give that one a go myself. Looks like a good winter dish, perfect for this week
Might give it two hours on the hob to sweat a decent amount of liquid out of the onions. Then transfer to the slow cooker for around 6 hours so i can go out. When I return i think i might transfer back to the pot on the hob and reduce the liquid on a low to medium heat for an hour.
As i said in the OP i will be doing this tomorrow so i will try and add some pictures and will let you all know what its like.

Good idea. Or I might do the 'Ethicurian Lamb Shoulder" which is fantastic if you have not done it.
My recent favourite is this - lamb cooked over beans.

Love the fact you tried it so soon after I posted it. Mine is still in the slow cooker as i had to go out in the end until early afternoon. It will be finished shortly then eaten tomorrow. Have got pictures so will post once it's finished. I am gonna try that guys Pork Shoulderen Papillote too..... however knobhead here bought a shoulder of lamb by accident today.
Did this the other day as per youtube.
Perfectly "nice" but TBH not something I would bother with again. No real flavour other than onions and beef. Surprising as that's all that's in it
Have to admit I tasted it after 8 hours in the slow cooker and added a few bits to try to improve it without turning it into a boeuf bourguignon but even that was a bit of a waste of effort. Ended up leaving it for 24+ hours.
Maybe I should have picked up on the point about it being like "onion soup" and actually made a decent onion soup and added the beef etc
Oh well, worth a try.
