Beer and Beef Crock Pot

Recipe #68952 | ½ day | 30 min prep | add private note

We like this with mashed potatoes, pasta or rice and vegetables. I usually do not thicken the sauce, but that is a personal preference. I have made this with different types of beer, light, strong and sweet depending what was on hand. It freezes well.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Add the beer to the crock pot, turn the control to high.
  2. 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. 3
    Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
  4. 4
    Using the rest of the butter brown the onions, add garlic, tomato puree and cayenne if using.
  5. 5
    Add to the crock pot together with the bay leaves and salt and pepper.
  6. 6
    Now turn the crock pot to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is tender.
  7. 7
    If you want to thicken the sauce add about 2 tablespoons of flour made into a paste, about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir that in, you will have to turn the crock pot on high for this.

This is a really good crockpot recipe! I made a flour paste at the end of cooking and served it w/ mashed potatoes and a green salad. The only beer I had on hand was a light beer and I think next time I'll try a darker beer because I think it'll add to the flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

    This was a really good recipe since it was very simple to make and tasted great. I used stew meat and it turned out so nice and tender. I made the flour paste at the end and added, but i'm not sure if made much of a difference - there wasn't an issue with it not being thick enough.

    Thank you for the easy and tasty recipe. I didn't have any tomato paste, so I used ketchup. I only had enough leftovers for a small lunch for my husband to take to work. Very yummy!

    This is a 5+ star recipe. I love good slow cooker recipes that are healthy, not ones that use soda and canned soup. It smelled excellent while cooking, was easy to put together, and the taste is outstanding. I followed the directions exactly and served it over Basmati rice. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.
