1.  Put the onion, carrot and celery into the cooking pot of the Multicooker. Lay the beef on top and pour in the beer and enough water (about 1 cup) so the liquid comes ¾ of the way up the vegetables and beef. Top with the peppercorns, cloves, dill seed, mustard and sugar. Cover and set to Slow Cook on Low for 12 hours.

2.  At the end of slow cooking remove the meat, set on a tray, and cover with foil. Strain the liquid, discarding the solids. Degrease the liquid and return to the cooking pot.

3.  Set on Brown/Sauté at 300°F. Add the carrots, potatoes and cabbage. Simmer 25 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and cooked through.

4.  Thinly slice the meat and return to the cooking pot with the vegetables to warm through. Serve.
