A personal note: I would not use this crock pot recipe, because it involves
using the stove top, which I am lousy at. I don't care for recipes in which
you must use other than the crock pot if it is a crock pot recipe. I would
rather have the crock pot do the cooking than having to cook something and
then put it into the crock pot.
Also, note that I had to do a lot of cleaning up of this recipe. I refuse
to just copy and paste from Internet recipes. I want to send clearly
written recipes.

3 lbs boneless beef chuck roast

2 bay leaves

1. Add the beer to the crock pot, turn the control to high.
2. Cut the beef into cubes, coat with the flour and brown in half of the

3. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
4. Using the rest of the butter brown the onions, add garlic, tomato puree
and cayenne if using.
5. Add to the crock pot together with the bay leaves and salt and pepper.
6. Now turn the crock pot to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef

7. If you want to thicken the sauce add about 2 tablespoons of flour made
into a paste, about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir that
in, you will have to turn the crock pot on high for this.
