I start it of in a normal pan first, while the crock pot is heating up. apx 1 kilo Cubed steak 1 chopped stick of celery 1 sliced onion some sliced mushrooms 1-2 tablespoons gravy grans 1 can of guiness. some chopped thyme Fry meat until browned, with onions and mushrooms...all the juices should start developing. Then sprinkle over the gravy granules. when bubbling away nicely add the can of guiness and bring up to boil. then pour the lot into the crock pot. leave to simmer for a few hours. Its really good served with creamy mash potato with a bit of horseradish stirred in. My favourite is steak and guiness casserole.

It's so simple! Just salt, pepper the meat, stuff with garlic & dust with flour. Brown all sides in a skillet with a little oil. Slice an onion put half the onion in bottom of crock pot, put the browned roast on top of the onion. In that same skillet brown a heaping Tablespoon of flour, add a can of cream of mushroom soup undiluted. Stir till blended, pour over the roast & put the rest of onion on top. Do not add any water! Put the lid on and off you go. Cook high for 4 hours or low for 6 or longer 8 is ok too. When you get home from work it's all done, just fix some potatoes or rice and you've got an easy yummy meal!
