Ingredients

• 1 lb chuck or round cut in 1-inch cubes
• 2 large potatoes cut in chunks
• 1 stalk celery sliced
• 1 small onion sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 tsp fresh thyme -or- 1/2 tsp dehydrated
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 1 large garlic clove crushed
• 1 12 oz beer or ale
• 1/2 cup cream or evaporated milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil

SEASONED FLOUR

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pinch of black pepper

Instructions

• Heat 1 tbs of the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Mix the seasoned flour ingredients and place mixture in a plastic bag. Place the cubed meat in the bag and shake until meat is coated.
• Place meat in hot skillet, shaking off any excess flour. Brown meat on all sides. Place browned meat in the slow cooker.
• Return skillet to heat and add the remaining 1 tbs of oil. Saute the onions, mushrooms, garlic and celery until almost tender. Place vegetable mixture in slow cooker. Add the potato chunks to the slow cooker.
• Pour the can of beer over the beef/vegetable mixture. Add stock cube & thyme.
• Cover and cook on HI for 5-6 hours or LOW for 8-10 hours (I recommend cooking on HI as meat didn't break apart).
• Turn off cooker and add cream. Stir well. Add cheese and stir again. Replace cover and let sit for about 10 minutes. Stir again and serve.
• Makes about 4 servings.
