Cant do the smiley! It was meant to be sick!

Yes Jo I used braising steak , I cut any fat off because I don't like fat and it was really nice , would think it will be even better with beer.

Annie

Annie

I'm going to do it on Sunday. I have my meat and got what else I need to come tomorrow in my shopping.
Jo

Let us know how you get on Jo

I am moving the starters and pudds we had to the BIG archive
and we can run on this one now....

What garden herbs, Rob? And so just beer for gravy, is there any stock or other water needed? I know you said add water if it gets dry.
I've got John Smiths Bitter, hope thats ok
Best be ok cos thats our tea! I will hold you responsible Rob!
Jo

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
Jo

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

what was the vinegar for too? never added that before?

I wondered that , I add it but could not taste it.

Ann

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

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

Well you seemed to all enjoy Robs Stew
I enjoyed my smoked salmon...very difficult to prepare though...those packets are tough to open

Pears in red wine went down well for those that did it

so a

thank you to everyone that contributed
