Tonight we are having Guiness Elk Stew.

2 1/2Lbs. of Elk stew meat.
1 1/2 sweet onion.
1 Cup of carrots
3 Cups of sliced or quartered mushrooms
6 Medium potatoes peeled halved and sliced 1/2 inch thick.
6 tablespoons of beef broth.
5 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of flour.
Season salt.
pepper.
1 bottle of Guiness beer and a few more to sample along with supper.
3 Cups of water.

Cut potatoes, carrots, beef base, garlic and 1 cup of water put in crock pot.

Cut onions a 1/4 inch dice and cook in some oil along with the mushrooms.
When onions are soft and lightly carmalized, add 1 cup of water to pan and let simmer 1 minuet then put contents into crock pot.

In a medium bowl miix meat a good amount of season salt and some pepper together with the flour. Heat a pan with oil (enough to cover bottom) and brown elk pieces on all sides. Add to crock pot.

With the same pan (flour crust will develop on the pan from frying elk) take 1/2 a bottle of Guiness beer and de-glaze the pan working up flour bits. Add to crock pot.

Add remaining beer to crock pot. (not the two to save for dinner).

Cook for 5-7 hours on low. You may need to thicken it when it is finished. If you do mix 2 tbsp of cornstarch and 2 tbsp of cold water together and add to stew. Stir well and serve.

Serve it up with the beer and some bread and butter. Yum yum!
