• Finely chop garlic. Cut beef chuck into 3cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine beef, the plain flour and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook diced beef and soffritto mix, turning occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker. TIP: The flour will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour.
• Add garlic, dried oregano, crushed & sieved tomatoes, the water and chicken-style stock powder to slow cooker. Set cooking temperature to high. • Place lid on slow cooker and cook until beef is tender, 4-5 hours
• In the last 30-35 minutes of cook time, remove lid from slow-cooker, then add risoni and the butter and brown sugar to the soup. Stir to combine and return lid. • When the soup is done, add baby spinach leaves and a splash of water, stir through spinach until wilted. Season to taste.
• Divide Italian beef and risoni soup between bowls. • Top with grated Parmesan cheese and tear over parsley. Enjoy!
