1 ¼Cupsor 300 ml Brown Alechoose your favourite ale
Salt & Pepper to season
A small handful of chopped fresh parsley and a sprig of thyme
Instructions
Set your oven to 170 C , Gas 3, 325 F if using the oven to cook this.
First of all, place the beef in a zip bag and bash using a meat hammer on BOTH sides so they are about ½ inch thick. Do this for all your slices then cut them into 2 inch pieces and place in a dish.
To the meat, add the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, cornstarch, crushed garlic and pepper. Do not add the salt. Mix it all together then arrange the meat so it is sitting flat. Leave for 30 minutes.
In the same pan you will use for the oven, add a drop of olive oil, chopped onion, mushrooms and fry until translucent.
Add the meat and fry until brown to seal the juices.
**** If using slow cooker, you can skip steps 3 & 4 and just add everything straight to the slow cooker.
Add your meat and remaining ingredients to your casserole dish / slow cooker. Combine everything well and cook in the oven for 3-4 hours or in your Slow cooker for 6 - 8 hours on LOW. Season with salt.
When ready, serve with some nice mashed potatoes, rice or anything you like!
**** If the liquid is not thick enough for your liking, add a drop of water to 1 -2 tablespoons of cornstarch, dissolve it then add to the casserole and give it a stir. Repeat this until you get it as thick as you like. Every one is different!
