Kate's irish beef stew with extras!

2 large onions, 3 cloves garlic, 2 leeks sliced, 1 large sweet potato cubed, celery sliced, whole baby carrots, whole baby button mushrooms, 500ml stock i use a knorr rich beef stock pot, 500ml red wine, cornflour mixed with a bit of cold water for thickening, tsp parsely dried, tsp thyme dried, salt and pepper. I used two packs of cubed beef i cooked them in the oven first in a little water and seasoning, i added a bit of the strained juices into the stew later on. Basically chuck in the beef and oinion fry off a little bit together and then chuck everything in and bring to the boil then simmer tastes lush x
