slow-cooked beer beef stew Note: The site where I got the "seed" recipe probably doesn't want the blame, since their recipe had an obvious misprint, and I was kind of making it up as I went along. Ingredients: 3 lbs of cut up stew meat 1/3 cup flour 1 teaspoon paprika 1 ts salt 1/4 ts. black pepper vegetable oil frozen stew vegetables -- mostly small potatoes, pearl onions, a hint of celery, and small carrots some chopped-up frozen celery chop up half a large onion or all of a medium one -- doesn't seem to matter much 1 12 ounce can Miller Lite beer -- I'm sure any beer will be fine, that's the orphan can I found in the fridge that nobody was gonna drink Put the flour, paprika, 1/2 ts. salt, 1/8 ts. pepper in a bag. Mix well. Add the beef cubes and really shake it up until all the pieces are coated with flour. Brown the beef cubes in oil. Line the bottom of a large crockpot with the frozen stew vegetables. I just added a random amount. Sprinkle some frozen chopped celery on top. Sprinkle the onions on top, leaving out a small amount of the onion. Sprinkle with 1/2 ts. salt and 1/8 ts. pepper. Put the browned beef on top. If need be, add a tiny bit more oil to the browning pan. Saute the remaining onion a few moments. Add a little beer and stir to get browned bits of beef off the bottom of the pan. Add the rest of the beer, bring to a boil, and cook down for a few minutes, but don't get too anal about it. Pour the whole thing over the beef. Add a bay leaf or two. Cook around 8 hours on low heat. It makes its own sauce.   previous - next
