Braised Beef

This recipe creates a tender braised beef that can be used in other recipes.

Ingredients
1 Lb Stewing Beef
16 Oz Light Beer
300 Ml Beef Broth
1/2 Onion, Finely Cut
1 Ts White Wine Vinegar
2 Ts Brown Sugar

Directions
Add all of the ingredients to a medium pot and cook on low for 2.5-3 Hours.  As your reach approximately the 2.5 hour mark, test the tenderness of the beef to see if it is ready.  The beef should be so tender that you do not need a knife to separate it.

After the meat is ready strain it and retain the liquid.  Then separate the beef from the onions.  The onions can be retained or discarded.

The meat can now be used as an ingredient in other recipes.  The cooking liquid can be reduced and mixed with ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and brown sugar to make a barbecue sauce.
