Budweiser Stew

Believe it or not, you can have a healthy stew in your slow cooker flavored by none other than a nice cold budweiser beer.  The alcohol is burnt off in the cooking process and leaves a nice flavor for your vegetables and meat.

2 Cups Brocolli
2 Cups Carrot
1 Cucumber
1/4 cup Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
1 12 oz Can of Budweiser
12 oz of water
1 Pound sirloin beef
2 Ears of Corn
4 Apples
1 1/2 Cups Mushrooms
2 large potatoes

Directions:

In a 5 quart crock pot, fill with water & beer & turn on High.  Rinse potatoes and cut into large chunks, then place in crock pot. 
Clean meat, cut remaining vegetables.  Shuck corn and break into 3 pieces each. 

Place corn around edges of crock pot with meat in the middle.  This should be the last ingredient that touches the beer.  Place remaining ingredients excluding the apples on top and cover pot.

Cook on high for at least 90 minutes.  If you desire a more tender meat, at this time switch over to medium temperature.  If not, leave as is for an additional 90 minutes. 

When stew is 75% cooked:
Peel apples & remove cork.  Cut into quarters & put in crock pot.

Serve after 4 hours when on High.   Serve after 6 hours when on Medium setting.

Makes 4 servings.
