How to Make Beef N Beer
- Season 2 lbs beef stew meat generously with salt and pepper. Brown the meat in batches in a large heavy skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove the browned beef and set aside.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, 1 green bell pepper, chopped, and 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in 12 oz of dark beer (stout or porter recommended), 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 cup beef broth. Stir well to combine.
- Return the beef to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- Optional: If the stew is too thin after simmering, remove the beef and simmer the sauce uncovered until slightly thickened. Return the beef and serve hot.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
