Don't worry about using beer when cooking. The alcohol burns off and you are left with flavor. It also tenderizes the meat. Ingredients:
3 lbs boneless beef cubes, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 medium onions, thinly sliced |
8 ounces mushrooms, undrained |
12 ounces dark beer |
1 tablespoon vinegar |
2 beef bouillon cubes |
2 teaspoons sugar |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon thyme |
2 bay leaves |
Directions:
1. Cut stew beef cubes into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Place cubes in bottom of crock pot.
2. Combine all other ingredients and pour over beef.
3. Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 - 5 hours.
4. Before serving, you can thicken broth with some flour and water. Turn crock pot to high and stir in flour mixture.
5. Serve over cooked egg noodle pasta.
6. Note: I like to use Negro Modelo which is a dark Mexican beer for this recipe. The dark beer is really nice to cook with.
