Slow Cooker Beef:
- Add all chopped carrots, celery and onions to a slow cooker.

- In a hot pan, add 2 tsp of canola oil and sear all sides of roast or short ribs. Remove from pan and add seared meat to the slow cooker with vegetables.
- In a medium sized pot, add beer, garlic, tomato paste, bay leaves, soy sauce and beef broth and bring to a low boil while whisking.
- Add hot beer broth to slow cooker and set on high for 6-8 hours until meat is fall apart tender. (Make coleslaw while beef is cooking).
- Remove tender meat from slow cooker and using a fork or tongs, pull apart into larger and smaller stringy chunks.
- Add broth and cooked vegetables (removing the bay leaves) to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Pass hot liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a small pot. Discard solids from strainer.
- Create a cornstarch slurry by whisking together 1 Tbsp of cornstarch and 2 Tbsps of cold water until cornstarch dissolves.
- Add slurry, browning seasoning and tabasco sauce to the Beef gravy. Heat over medium high heat and whisk gravy until it comes to a low boil and thickens. Adjust seasoning to taste. (For extra smooth gravy, pass through a fine mesh strainer a second time).
- Add 1 cup of hot gravy to the pulled beef and stir until it is coated evenly.
Coleslaw:
- Add all prepared veggies and mango to a large bowl. Set aside.
- Add all dressing ingredients to a food processor or smoothie blender. Blend on high until evenly combined.
- Add dressing to bowl of coleslaw mix and mix to combine evenly. Cover and refrigerate until required.
Assembly:
