2 TBS butter
1 onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced

Coat beef cubes with the 1/2 cup flour placing beef and flour in plastic bag and shaking. Add beef to crock and cook in melted butter stirring occasionally.
Slice onion and mince garlic. Add onion, pepper, garlic and beer to crock pot. Cover crock, set temperature to LOW and cook 5 hours until meat is tender.

Half hour before serving turn crock to HIGH. Melt remaining 1 TBS of butter in microwave and mix in the 1/4 cup flour. Stir butter/flour into meat mixture, cook on high 30 minutes stirring occasionally.

While the Drunk Chuck thickens, cook rice and prepare a tossed salad. In 4 QT sauce pan bring 3 cups of water, 1 1/2 cups rice, 1 TBS butter, pinch of salt to a boil, cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Prepare salad while Drunk Chuck and rice finish cooking.

Serve Drunk Chuck over rice and with the salad for a complete dinner.

P.S. It's OK to serve this to the kids, all the alcohol from the beer is cooked out.
