Beef in Beer in the Slow Cooker Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: St. Patrick's Day Recipes. (Beef in Beer in the Slow Cooker Recipe). Delicious tender beef cooked in the slow cooker with beer, shallots, bacon, and mushrooms. The Guiness® makes a lovely gravy without tasting overly strong of beer. This is quite a meaty dish so would also be nice with potatoes and carrots added. I serve this with crusty French bread to mop up the juices. Hearty and warming to come home to. Cooks in 5 hours in the slow cooker; however it would not hurt it to be cooked all day.
