Yield: 6 servings
This is a wonderful recipe that takes full advantage of slow cooking. It is a Flemish adaptation of a French stew using beer as one of the ingredients. The Flemings traditionally use a dark beer.
In a medium-size bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Dredge the beef cubes in the flour, shaking off any excess.
In either an electric skillet set at 300F or a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil and brown the cubes of beef on all sides. Remove the beef to a slow cooker. Reduce the heat of the electric skillet to low (150F). Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, until golden but not brown. Add the brown sugar, parsley, beef stock, and beer to the skillet, stir to loosen the browned bits from the bottom, then pour the mixture over the meat in the slow cooker. Add the bay leaf and place the onion slices on top of the beef. Cover, set on low, and cook for 6 hours, stirring the onion into the mixture after 2 to 3 hours. Stir in the Worcestershire and vinegar during the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
Remove the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper, and serve over hot noodles or wild rice.
