Beef In Beer Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
3 tbsp Vegetable oil
3 lb Boneless chuck cut into
Chunks for stew
6 cup Sliced onions (1 1/2 lb)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
4 Garlic cloves, minced
1 cup Beef stock or bouillon
2 tbsp Brown sugar
2 cup To 3 cup dark beer
(microbrew preferred)
1 large Herb bouquet *
1 1/2 tbsp Cornstarch - blended with
2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
Recipe Preparation
Herb bouquet is 6 parsley springs, one bay leave and 1/2 teaspoon
dried thyme tied in a cheesecloth.
Preheat oven to 325. Add oil to heavy skillet and heat until almost
smoking. Brown meat quickly in batches, do not crown the pan. Set
meat aside.
Reduce heat to medium, add onions (add more oil if necessary)and brown
onions lightly for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from pan
and set aside. Season with salt and pepper and then stir in garlic.
Arrange half of the browned meat in dutch oven and season lightly
with salt and pepper. Spread half of the onions over the beef.
Repeat with the rest of the beef and onions.
Heat the stock in the skillet scrapping up any browned bits stuck to
the bottom. Stir in the brown sugar and pour over the beef/onion
mixture. Add enough beer so the meat is barely covered. Bury the herb
bouquet in the center of the meat chunks. Bring the mixture to a
simmer on top of the stove, cover and place in lower third of the
preheated 325 degree oven. Cook at slow simmer for 2 1/2 hours.
Remove herb bouquet. Drain liquid into a saucepan and skim off fat.
Blend cornstarch mixture into the cooking liquid and simmer for 3 to
4 minutes. Taste and correct seasoning. There should be about 2 cups
of sauce. Pour sauce back over the meat.
When ready to serve, cover the casserole and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes
until meat is heated through.
Serve with new potatoes or noodles garnished with parsley.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightIf you enjoy your food, but want to become thin and also improve your overall physical condition, then, as most people know, you should follow a meticulously prepared wholesome dietary regime. Theoretically, this needs to involve 5 standard portions of grains, cereals and vegetables every day and also contain the optimum fusion of important nutrients.
Some lower carb diet tips:
* Make reduced carb breadcrumbs for deep fried or oven baked foods. Although you may be able to buy low carb breadcrumbs, you may make them yourself by using low carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the low carb bread in a pre-heated oven on a sheet of cookie paper. Once it is quite hard and crispy, process it in your food mill. To store, keep in an airtight container.
* Understand the food labels Don't trust sales blurb that claims to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the can or package. Many are only marginally lower and in some cases still more than a competitors usual brand. In addition, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - often the carbs are identically the same.
