BEEF IN BEER IN THE SLOW COOKER
Delicious tender beef cooked in the slow cooker with beer, shallots, bacon, and mushrooms. The Guiness® makes a lovely gravy without tasting overly strong of beer. This is quite a meaty dish so would also be nice with potatoes and carrots added. I serve this with crusty French bread to mop up the juices. Hearty and warming to come home to. Cooks in 5 hours in the slow cooker; however it would not hurt it to be cooked all day.

Steps:
- Place the onion and garlic into a large slow cooker. Pour in the ketchup, beer, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke; set aside. Combine the salt, pepper, chili powder, paprika, oregano, and brown sugar until evenly blended. Rub the spice mixture all over the beef brisket. Place the brisket into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining spice mixture over top.
- Cover, and cook on Low until the beef is easily shredded with two forks, 10 to 12 hours.
- Remove the beef from the slow cooker, and place into a large bowl. Ladle the fat from the remaining sauce in the slow cooker and discard. Pour about 2 cups of the sauce from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, and stir into the simmering sauce. Cook and stir 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Meanwhile, shred the meat into small pieces using two forks.
- Pour the thickened sauce and remaining sauce from the slow cooker into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the sauce right in the slow cooker.
- Stir the shredded beef and pureed sauce together in the slow cooker. Use tongs to serve the beef on the potato buns.

Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of beef is key. For this recipe, chuck roast or brisket are excellent options as they become tender and flavorful during the slow cooking process.
- Searing the beef before adding it to the slow cooker helps develop a rich, caramelized crust that adds depth of flavor to the dish.
- Using a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, adds sweetness and texture to the stew.
- The type of beer you choose can greatly influence the final flavor of the dish. For a more robust flavor, use a dark beer such as a stout or porter. For a lighter flavor, use a light beer or ale.
- Adding herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, and garlic, enhances the flavor of the stew and creates a delicious aroma.
- Letting the stew cook on low for 8-10 hours allows the flavors to meld and the beef to become incredibly tender.
- Serving the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread provides a delicious and comforting meal.
