Beef Stew Crockpot Recipe

Beef Stew with Dumplings and using beer.

This was delicious. Serve with rice or cous cous.

Next time I make it, I would make double the dumpling mix. The dumplings were so delicious, that we all thought a few more would be good.

This is a definitely tasty and worth your time.

Different types of beer will give a different flavour. Not being a beer drinker, I went to the bottle shop and asked for there cheapest :-)

Well, Michael from the UK has kindly written to me and suggested his favorite beer for cooking. What do you think? What is your favorite?

I noted in your beef beer stew recipe you don't specify a particular brand of beer. I have been cooking beef in beer in my crock pot for over 8 years now and have tried nearly one hundred different beers and ales to try ad find the best.

My top 3 are 3rd guiness, 2nd Mathers Black beer and 1st by a mile THEAKSTONS OLD PECULIAR, which is not too sweet and gives a fantasticly rich flavour unlike any other I have tried.

Also I have added a dimmer to the supply of my slow cooker so I can cook for longer. Beef stews I usually cook for 24 to 30 hours! This results in the beef being incredably tender even if the cheapest cut of meat was used as any fat and grisle just dissolve a keep the meat moist. A nice joint to cook this way is rolled brisket.

4	Mix the other ingredients together and pour over the beef.
5	Cook on low for 8-10 hours
6	Sometime during this period make the dumplings.
7	Combine all the ingredients, with sufficient milk (may need slightly more or less) to make a soft dough.
8	Shape into four to six balls.
9	About 40 minutes prior to serving, put the dumplings in the crock pot.
10	Turn on high, replace lid. And enjoy in 30-40 minutes.
Notes
Next time, I would make double the dumpling mix and make twice the number of dumplings.
The dumplings worked very well.
