[CnD] beef and beer (found on the Internet)
A personal note: I would not use this crock pot recipe, because it involves using the stove top, which I am lousy at. I don't care for recipes in which you must use other than the crock pot if it is a crock pot recipe. I would rather have the crock pot do the cooking than having to cook something and then put it into the crock pot. Also, note that I had to do a lot of cleaning up of this recipe.

Total Time: 8 hours Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 8 hours Ingredients: 2 cups of beer 3 lbs boneless beef chuck roast 1/2 cup plain flour 2 -3 tablespoons butter, divided 2 onions, sliced 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tablespoon tomato paste cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 2 bay leaves salt and pepper Directions: 1. Add the beer to the crock pot, turn the control to high. 2. Cut the beef into cubes, coat with the flour and brown in half of the butter, you might have to do this in batches. 3. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot. 4. Using the rest of the butter brown the onions, add garlic, tomato puree and cayenne if using. 5. Add to the crock pot together with the bay leaves and salt and pepper. 6. Now turn the crock pot to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is tender. 7.

Re: [CnD] beef and beer (found on the Internet)
it sounds that you are only browning the meat. I don't care if my meat is brown or not just so it's done Betty Emmons - Original Message - From: Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark cookinginthedark@acbradio.org To: cooking in the dark list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 1:39 PM Subject: [CnD] beef and beer (found on the Internet) A personal note: I would not use this crock pot recipe, because it involves using the stove top, which I am lousy at.

Re: [CnD] beef and beer (found on the Internet)
Hi Charles. I think browning of the beef in this recipe is purely optional. From reading it, I feel the recipe will work just fine even without browning. A tip one of our cookery writers put into one of her books is to precook onions and/or garlic for a couple of minutes in the microwave before adding them to the crockpot.

Re: [CnD] beef and beer (found on the Internet)
You know, precooking in the microwave would also help to reduce fat content, as you wouldn't need butter then to sauté them. Good idea. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Andrew Niven via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 2:00 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org; Charles Rivard Subject: Re: [CnD] beef and beer (found on the Internet) Hi Charles.

My thoughts exactly. I've seen a number of recipes on the internet, not all of which require browning and such before putting into the crock pot. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 2:02 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org; 'Andrew Niven' Subject: Re: [CnD] beef and beer (found on the Internet) You know, precooking in the microwave would also help to reduce fat content, as you wouldn't need butter then to sauté them.
