Ingredients

Servings: 4
Yield:
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • ½ half a package bacon
  • 2 lbs stewing beef
  • 2 medium onions, sliced thin
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp old bay seasoning (or celery seeds if you have on hand)
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp seasoning salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 cups beer (or beer/beef broth combo)

Directions

  1. Season your stew meat with salt & pepper.
  2. In a sauce pan over medium-high heat add a glug of oil and then brown your beef stew in batches. Transfer to Slowcooker.
  3. Next add in your bacon and cook until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towel. Set aside. Once cool cut into 1 inch pieces and add to the slow cooker.
  4. In pan with remaining bacon fat add in your sliced onions. Cook until soft. Add garlic, thyme, old bay seasoning, bay leaves, another dash of salt & pepper and cook for 1 minute or so. Sprinkle sugar over mixture in pan and stir well. Add flour and cook for another minute (stir as you go). Finally add your beer/broth combo, increase your heat a little and cook until mixture thickens.
  5. Pour saucepan mixture over beef & bacon. I give it a little stir, cover and cook on low for about 5-6 hours or until meat is tender. Remove bay leaves and serve immediately.
