Serve with potaotes or egg noodles tossed in butter and chopped parsley.
Directions for: Beef in Beer
Ingredients
2 Tbsp beef drippings or butter, more as needed
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 lb(s) sirloin tip, cut into fat fingers
3 onions, sliced
4 clove garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper
2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1-1/2 cup beef stock
2 cup beer
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 bouquet garni (bay leaf, thyme spring, a few parsley stems)
Directions
1. Melt the butter and oil together in a saut pan and, working in batches, brown the beef strips on all sides. Remove. in the same pan, fry the onions until soft, about 15 minutes, then add the garlic one minute. Remove. (Check if there is fat in the pan. if not, add a good tablespoon of butter and let it melt.)
2. Add the flour and sugar to the pan and cook 1 minute to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the stock and bring to a boil. (At this point, turn the oven on to 325F/160C.) Add the beer and the vinegar to the boiling stock, and bring back to the boil, cooking until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove.
3. in a large casserole, layer the onion mixture alternately with the beef strips, seasoning each layer as you go with salt and pepper. Tuck in the bouquet garni and pour the liquid over. Cover and bake for 2-1/2 hours. if you can wait a day before eating, cool the dish completely when its out of the oven, and refrigerate overnight: the flavour will be even better when you reheat it.
