Easy Weekend Food
Last Sunday, I really didn’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen, although I usually like to cook. I went into my trusty E-cookbook and came up with this great, almost effortless, unbelievably good recipe:
Crockpot Beef All Day Delight
2-3 lbs. boneless chuck or whatever, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup flour divided
5 tablespoons butter
1 onion, sliced
1 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can of beer (does not leave a beery taste)
1/4 cup flour
Coat beef cubes with the 1/2 cup flour. Brown in melted butter. Drain off excess fat. In crock pot, combine browned meat with onion, salt, pepper, garlic and beer.
Cover and cook on low 5-7 hours (all day) until meat is tender. (I added mushrooms at this point, because I think mushrooms belong in lots of dishes)Turn control to high. Dissolve remaining 1/4 cup flour in small amount of water. Stir into meat mixture, cook on high 30-40 minutes.
Serve with rice and salad.
Don’s been eating the leftovers for lunch.
