well I made it. To be honest, I dont think I would do it again, unless i played about with it.
It may be what I used, the bitter and cooked it in a slow cooker. :?:
Garden herbs? I used dried mixed herbs.
So cant give a true picture :roll:

I'm cooking Robs Braised Steak tomorrow :grin: In fact it's almost the same method that I normally use, so gonna vary it a little by adding the beer.

Well I cooked it today and it went down really well!
I added a large can of original Guiness (thats all they had in our corner shop) and cos I was worried it wouldn't have enough flavour, 1 oxo cube :? but no water at all and no vinegar

Very rich and tasty, we thought :grin:

I will have to try again but with beer rather than bitter I think. :roll:
I'd still like to know about the vinegar :? Is it meant to break it down?
Jo :)
