2 tablespoons vegetable oil
5 -6 lbs beef brisket or 5 -6 lbs blade roast
2 large onions, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 (12 ounce) can beer
¹⁄₂ cup low sodium beef broth
4 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch slices
¹⁄₂ cup tomato paste
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
2 bay leaves
¹⁄₂ cup packed dark brown sugar
¹⁄₃ cup Dijon mustard
¹⁄₂ cup red wine vinegar
¹⁄₄ cup regular molasses
¹⁄₃ cup soy sauce

directions

Lay the potatoes across the bottom of the insert of the slow cooker.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Brown the brisket well on all sides.
Place the browned meat in the slow cooker insert.
Add more oil, if needed, and sauté the onions until soft, about 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Scrape the vegetables into the insert.
Pour the beer and broth into the sauté pan and bring to a boil, scraping up the meat bits in the pan with a wooden spoon.
Pour over the meat.
Add the celery, tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, bay leaves, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, molasses, soy sauce, and paprika to the insert.
Cover and cook for 8 hours on LOW or 5 to 6 hours on HIGH, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Remove the meat to a cutting board and slice it thinly against the grain.
Skim any fat from the cooking liquid, discard the bay leaves, taste for seasoning, and add salt and pepper.
Transfer the meat and potatoes to a serving platter or serve them on individual plates. Spoon the cooking liquid on top or on the side.

We thought this was very good. I was concerned about the brown sugar, but in the long run, it turned out great. Served for company and they loved it. Thanks for another lorrie ... keeper. tagged in 123 hits.

Sorry this was not good. The beef tasted like roast which I figured it would and the potatoes were not even eatable. They were too sweet or something. Just didn't hit the spot for me.

Zaar has been such a super experience for me.Not only do I get to try new recipes...play with my camera taking foodie pics but I get to make new friends along the way! I'm currently unemployed so have lots more time to devote to a couple of my passions...cooking and photography. So long as my health is good...I'm full speed ahead! I love gardening as well and grow my own herbs. I love my city...just ask me! LOL I &hearts; MTL Montreal has many food festivals and of course our famous Jazz festival and also the Comedy festival"Just for laughs". Below is my Grand-Kitten, Hopper...since I have no grandbabies yet and he belongs to my son...I decided he deserved the title and he is just the apple of my eye...he is 8 weeks in this pic. <img
