Hi, I searched and found a couple of recipes...

Serves 6, 3 points per serving

450 g lean beef fillet steak
5 spray low-fat cooking spray
1 small onion(s)
300 g mushrooms
2 clove garlic
2 medium carrot(s)
425 g cooked pinto beans
1 portion stock cube
400 g tomato(s)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon thyme Instructions


  • Place beef in a slow cooker. Coat a nonstick frying-pan with cooking spray. Add onion, mushrooms and garlic. Sauté over medium-high heat 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add to slow cooker. Add carrots.
  • Place half of beans in slow cooker. Place remaining beans in blender. Add 1/3 of stock to blender and purée. Add mixture to slow cooker. Add remaining stock, tomatoes, oregano, dried thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook on high setting of slow cooker for 6 to 7 hours. Garnish with fresh thyme.

This one would have to be pointed up:
1 pounds stew beef
Handful of Baby carrots
3 white potatoes
1 large onion cut into wedges
1 can of beef broth (I use Campbell's)
1 clove of garlic minced
2 teaspoons of kitchen bouquet
1 teaspoon of worcestershire sauce
Add water to fill crock-pot

Cut stew beef into bite size pieces, dredge in four with salt and pepper. Place into crock-pot. Add beef broth, garlic, onion, carrots and potatoes add kitchen bouquet and worcestershire sauce. Add water just to top turn crock pot on high and cook for 5-6 hours. Stir occasionally.

hope that helps :D
