Preparation

Step 1

Melt the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes or until the onions are lightly browned; stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Pour the onions and garlic into the slow cooker.

Trim the roast of any fat and cut into 6 servings-sized pieces. Put the skillet back over the heat; add the meat to the skillet and fry for 2 minutes on each side. Move the meat to the slow cooker.

Put the skillet back over the heat. Add the water, stirring well to bring up any browned meat clinging to the pan. Stir in the broth, beer, sugar, mustard and vinegar. Mix well and then pour over the meat in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Ladle onions and broth over each serving of meat.
