   Your DH / DP will love you for making this.  I just tried tonight and it is soooooooo yum!! I served it on mashed potato and placed a circle of puff pastry on the top. It's a crock pot recipe.

1Kg stewing beef cubed

2 onions quatered

2 med potatoes cubed

1 small kumara cubed

1/4 cup plain flour seasoned with salt and pepper

330mls beer (any type, I used export)

1 cup hot water

2 tsp beef stock powder

1 tbls balsamic vinegar

1 tbls brown sugar

1tsp dried thyme

1 bay leaf

Brown onions in a pan and when done place in crockpot.  Put seasoned flour into a plastic bag, add the cubed meat and toss well to coat the meat in flour.

Brown meat in a little oil in the frying pan.  Add browned meat + potatoes + kumara into the cooker.  

Mix together water, stock, beer, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar & bay leaf and add to crock pot.

Cook on high for about 8 hours or on low for 6 or 7.  

I served it on mashed potatoes and topped it with a cirlce of puff pastry.   I also sliced some mushrooms and cooked them in the microwave for 5 mins in some of the sauce from the casserole....yum!

Now off to eat the homemade peach crumble pie I made today...
