Stout Braised Steak With Stacked Chips Recipes

Steps:

• Toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Dredge the beef in this to coat.
• Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and brown on all sides. Add the onions, and garlic. Stir the tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 cup of the beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds a lot of flavor to the broth. Pour in the rest of the beer, and add the carrots and thyme. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over high heat. Sprinkle the short ribs generously with salt and pepper on all sides and sear in batches if needed until brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the pot to a large bowl and set aside.
• Add another 1 tablespoon of oil to the pot if needed. Add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spoon. Add the carrots and celery and let cook for another minute or 2.
• Add the Irish stout to the pot and scrape up the bottom of the pot to remove any more browned bits. Bring to a simmer, then add the beef stock and season with salt and pepper. Return the meat, along with any juices, to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Cover and braise in the oven until the short ribs are tender and can be shredded easily with a fork, about 2 hours.
• Serve on top of mashed potatoes if desired.

Steps:

• Trim the silver skin and icky fatty parts from your flap meat, then cut into 3- or 4-ounce chunks, or whatever size you like. Place in a container with a tight-fitting lid; don't forget to leave extra space for the marinade.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, black pepper and garlic. Add the stout; be careful, it will foam a bit. There is really no need to add salt--the soy and Worcestershire are plenty salty.
• Pour the marinade over the beef tips and stir gently to evenly coat. (If you don't use all the marinade, it will keep, refrigerated, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
• Refrigerate the meat for 8 hours or overnight; it will keep for up to 4 or 5 days. Cook as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place steak cubes onto a plate and sprinkle with flour.
• Place lard and bacon into a large skillet over medium heat; heat until lard melts and bacon begins to sizzle. Stir floured steak cubes into bacon and hot lard and cook, stirring frequently, until steak and bacon are browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Transfer steak mixture to a large casserole dish.
• Cook and stir onion and mushrooms in the same skillet over medium heat until onions are lightly browned and mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to casserole dish with steak mixture.
• Stir Irish stout beer, parsley, raisins, and brown sugar into steak mixture. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until gravy has thickened and steak is tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove casserole dish from oven and increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Line a deep-dish 9-inch pie plate with a pie crust and bake in the preheated oven until crust is partially cooked and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon cooked steak filling into the partially-baked pie crust.
• Cover steak filling with second pie crust; pinch the top crust against the bottom crust to seal tightly.
• Bake pie until top crust is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the steaks into 5 x 7cm pieces.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large casserole dish or pot.
• Add the beef and fry until well browned. It is OK if the bottom of the pan gets brown and sticky, but dont let it burn.
• Add the onions and cook until beginning to soften. You will see the brown sticky stuff at the bottom of the pan start to dissolve and come away.
• Add the brandy.
• Add the Stout beer, Vegemite (dissolved in a little water) sprigs of thyme and rosemary, carrots, eggplant, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring to the boil and cook very gently for about 3 hours, until the meat is very tender. Add the whole mushrooms for the last 30 minutes.
• remove the sprigs of rosemary and thyme.
• Mix the chopped basil and lemon rind together and sprinkle over the top.
• Scatter over the olives and garnish with the basil sprig.
• Serve with crusty bread or mashed potato.
