Ingredients with instructions:
¾ pound (give or take) beef. Pick your favorite kind. I used
boneless beef ribs.
Sear the beef on the available sides. I season it a bit
during this: pepper, dried onion.
I like searing it while it’s frozen; the meat doesn’t cook
much while searing. Place the seared beef in the bottom of a small-size crock
pot and pour over it:
1 bottle dark beer (I used Stockyard Oatmeal Stout)
1 cup vegetable juice. This one was tomato based, with
celery.
Turn the crockpot on high while you go to work. When you
return, use forks to shred the beef.
And add ½ cup pearl barley. Add some spices: Basil,
allspice, cayenne. More basil than cayenne.

| I just liked the Stockyard Stout swirling around with the vegetable juice. I forgot to photograph the finished meal. |
Add some flavoring components: we used 4 cloves of garlic
(peeled, whole) and three sticks of celery (chopped up), three carrots,
chopped, and half an onion, also chopped.
Cook on high (no lid) for another 90 minutes or so. Or put
it into a saucepan and boil it pretty hard. We boiled most of the liquid out,
making it a fork meal. Really flavorful.
Fed four, with side dishes.
