Crock Pot Beef Stew with Oranges

Fry the peeled and quartered shallots in a pan in oil until golden brown, then add them to the Crock Pot. In the same oil, brown the meat, cut into 3 cm cubes, then season with salt and pepper. Dust with flour and deglaze with a little stock. Zest the orange, then carefully peel the orange and remove the white part. Halve the orange and slice it. Add all the ingredients, along with the halved tomatoes and the soaked porcini mushrooms with their soaking water, to the Crock Pot and cook on “high” for 5 hours. Once the cooking time is complete, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Rice or potatoes go well with it.
