Porter beer is a dark, rich ale that originated in London in the late 1700s. It’s characterized by its roasted malt flavor, which gives it a deep, slightly sweet taste with hints of chocolate and coffee. Porter pairs well with hearty dishes such as stews, pies, and roasts due to its robust flavor profile.
To cook with porter beer, you can use it as both an ingredient in the recipe and as a cooking liquid. Here’s a simple recipe for Beef Stew with Porter:
Ingredients:
– 2 lbs beef stew meat
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
– 2 stalks celery, chopped
– 1 lb potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
– 1 can (14 oz) porter beer
– 1 can (14 oz) beef broth
– 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
– 2 bay leaves
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
2. Add the onion to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Return the beef to the pot and add the potatoes. Pour in the porter beer, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
4. Bring the stew to a simmer and cover. Reduce heat to low and cook for 1-2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes. Enjoy your Porter Beef Stew!
