Can't get any easier than this - Drunken Beef!

Okay, the beef isn't drunk but the beer does lend a tenderizing effect and gives the meat a good flavor. The rye bread and mustard provide a Germanic influence. Drunken Beef! 3 pounds cubed beef 1 package dry Italian dressing mix 1 bottle of beer 2 slices of dark rye bread Dijon mustard Toss the cubes of beef with the Italian dressing to coat. Spread each slice of the rye bread with a generous helping of the dijon mustard. Place these in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the beef cubes and pour in the beer. Cook on low or high as needed. Before serving, stir up the dish from the bottom so the now soggy bread can break down and thicken the broth. This goes great with simple boiled potatoes and a crisp salad.
