Beef and Ale

Diana Rattray
Ale gives this crockpot beef recipe some extra flavor. Serve this tasty beef with mashed potatoes, rice, or hot cooked noodles.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds stewing beef, cut in 1/2-inch to 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen pearl onions
  • 6 to 8 ounces chopped or sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
  • 1 cup beer or ale
  • 1/2 cup broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon cold water

Preparation:

Put beef cubes in a food storage bag with the 1/4 cup of flour, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the beef thoroughly. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring, for 4 to 6 minutes, until browned.

Combine beef with onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, beer, and 1/2 cup of broth or water in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours. Remove beef and pour juices into a medium saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes to reduce slightly. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon flour with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Stir flour mixture into the juices and add the beef; heat through. Serve with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or rice.
Serves 4 to 6.
