Preparation
- Combine 1 ½ teaspoons of dry active yeast, ½ cup (60 g) all-purpose flour, and ½ a cup (120ml) of warm water. Cover and set a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Then add 1 12 oz bottle of beer of your preference, 2 teaspoons salt, and roughly 4 cups of flour. Add the last cup of flour slowly to so that the dough dose not become dry.
- Work into a ball until all the ingredients are combined. Cover with a hot damp towel and set in a warm place for 2 hours.
- Use top round or top sirloin cuts of beef. Salt all sides generously.
- Sear on all sides in a very hot, heavy skillet. If a pool of fat begins to form in the skillet, remove some so that the meat sears evenly.
- Place in a slow cooker on a bed of onion, carrot, and celery. Pour over with a cup of beef or vegetable stock.
- Cook 2 hours on high, or until internal temperature reaches 130°F (55°C).
- Scrape the dough down from the sides of the bowl and onto a flowered work surface.
- Pull the edges of the dough down underneath itself until a smooth loaf is formed. Sprinkle flour on top of the loaf.
- Next, sprinkle cornmeal onto a baking sheet and set the loaf on top. Sprinkle flour on top of the loaf. Cover with a dry towel for 30 minutes.
- Scar the top with a knife.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 35 minutes. Place a pan of water on the rack below the dough in the oven. Cool to room temperature before cutting.
- Remove steak from slow cooker. Rest 20 minutes before slicing. Strain juices to use as a dip or stock in other cooking. Cool to room temperature before cutting.
- Thinly slice steak and place between pieces of sliced bread. Serve with juices from slow cooker on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy!
