Beer Stew
2 1/2 lbs of onions, sliced
1/2 cup canola oil
2 garlic cloves chopped
1/3 cup flour
2 tsp salt
black pepper
3 lbs boneless beef chuck, cut in 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs steak sauce, such as A-1
2 bay leaves
2 tsps. thyme
1 1/2 12 oz bottles of beer (do NOT use dark)
1 can beef broth
Cook onions in 2 tbs of oil in a 6-8 quart ovenproof heavy pot over moderate heat. Stirring frequently until lightly brown. Takes about 30 mins. Add garlic and cook a few more minuets.
Combine flour salt and pepper in a large zip lock bag. Toss meat with flour mixture. Heat oil in large heavy skillet until hot then brown beef a little at a time. Add to onion mixture.
Add soy, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, bay leaves, thyme and add enough beer to pot to cover beef and onions, then bring to a simmer. Cover pot and braise in 325 degree oven for 2 hours. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
This feeds a crowd and makes its own gravy. Serve with mashed potatoes, or noodles. Make ahead as it gets better with age.
