BEER BRAISED BEEF STEW - SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Clean, and chop the veggies into large bite-size pieces (3-inches).
• Using a chef's knife and sturdy cutting board, clean beef of any excess fat and cut into 3-inch chunks

• Once the beef is browned remove from the pan and set aside
• To the same skillet - add a tablespoon more oil and saute the onion, ginger, and garlic. Remove and set aside
• To the same skillet add 1/2 cup stock or water and deglaze the pan - scraping all the caramelized bits.
• Add the veggies in the slow cooker or crock-pot followed by the onion mixture and deglazed juices and seared beef.
