Quick n Dirty in the slow cooker...(well not that quick
)
1 slab of C-Beef (make sure you anticipate winter shrinkage so get enough if your gonna feed more than two people or find a decent size cut)
2.5 Cups of Water
5 Carrots (cut as desired) I usually buy the baby carrots and use the bag
2 heads of cabbage
4-6 Golden Potatoes quartered skin on (give a good wash)
1 BEER - ale of choice of course - my avatar speaks for itself - Killians/Bass/Harp are also nice substitutes
Bottle/Jar of Pickling Spice
3 Bay leaves
Handfull of cloves
Salt and Peppa to taste
In the slow cooker add CB, Carrots, and Potatoes, roughly half the jar of pickling spice, 1 Beer, water and Salt and Pepper to taste. (Cb should be immersed in liquid add more beer or water to accomplish) Heat on low for 8 hours. DO NOT KEEP OPENING THE LID- everytime you do this you will prob need to add like 15-20mins so set it and forget it!! After about 6 hours add the cabbage and turn the CB and rotate all the veggies. By about hour 8 the fat should almost skim off the meat and the meat should be able to be broken apart with a fork. Serve with tons of guiness, Shrimpman Rye
, and Irish Soda bread. Post meal: Sleep on the couch or several feet from significant other, contents may be highly flamable.
Happy St. Pattys to all -- DONT BE A D$&K - DONT DRINK N DRIVE!
