I cut the beef into chunks, then boil it with water and soya sauce until tender, add in salt, freshly ground pepper and lots of sugar... it's suppose to be sweet... then add in 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter and onions cut into chunks let it simmer and ready to serve with plain white rice...

IRISH BEEF STEW WITH GUINNESS STOUT
A dark beer is recommended for the flavor...using an ale does not have nearly as much flavor.

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Bay Leaves
2 Lbs Beef Stew Meat, Cut Into 1 1/2 Inch To 2 Inch Cubes (With Some Fat)
1 Large Yellow Onion, Peeled And Cut Into 1/4 Inch Slices
2 Cloves Garlic, Peeled And Chopped
1 Teaspoon Dried Thyme, Whole
1 Teaspoon Dried Rosemary
2-3 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Beef Stock
1/2 Cup Guinness Stout
1 Tablespoons Chopped Parsley
1/2 Pound Carrots, Sliced
Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper To Taste

Heat a 6-quart stove-top casserole and add the oil and the bay leaves. Cook the bay leaves for a moment and then add the meat. Brown the meat on both sides on high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook for a few minutes until it is clear. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary and flour, and stir well until smooth.

Add the beef stock and stout; simmer, stirring, until the stew thickens a bit. Add the remaining ingredients and cover. Place the pot in a 275 F oven (yes, the book says 275 F) for about 2 hours, stirring a couple of times. Check for salt and pepper before serving. Serves 4-6.

Notes:
I used boneless beef ribs, Samuel Adams Ale, beef bouillon and no thyme. It came out great. Very tasty.

Beef Braciola

* 2 pieces of Beef (1lb each) Round Steak, Sirloin or Flank Steak
* 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
* 1 teaspoon Salt
* 4 cloves minced fresh Garlic (optional)
* 1 recipe of Cheese/Bread Crumb filling
* 3-4 quarts of your favorite Marinara Sauce
* ¼ cup Olive Oil & 4 Cloves Garlic-crushed

Cheese/Breadcrumb Filling
* 1 cup Progresso Italian seasoned bread crumbs
* 1½ cups grated Parmesan or Romano Cheese
* ½ cup fresh Basil, chopped
* ½ cup fresh Italian Parsley, chopped
* 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
* ½ cup Chicken Stock (or Water)
* 2 fresh Eggs, beaten

1. In a large mixing bowl place bread crumbs, grated cheese, parsley, basil and black pepper. Mix thoroughly. Mix half the chicken stock with the beaten eggs and add to the mix. Blend thoroughly. Add remaining chicken stock a little at a time just until a moist but crumbly consistency is achieved. (The amount of stock you need will depend upon the age and dryness of the bread crumbs and cheese)

2. Place slices of beef between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound it with the flat side of a mallet until evenly flattened but not too thin. Remove top piece of plastic wrap and pound beef randomly a few times to tenderize, using the side of your mallet that has large pegs.

3. Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper and minced garlic. Place a layer of cheese/breadcrumb filling over surface and spread thinly.

4. Using the plastic wrap under the beef to help you lift the end of the meat, carefully roll it up- (jelly roll fashion) as tightly as possible to enclose the filling taking care to tightly tuck in the ends.

5. Tie each roll with kitchen string or cord, keeping the ties close together to avoid the roll opening and then run the cord end to end.

6. Heat ¼ cup olive oil in heavy pot over medium heat. Brown 4 cloves crushed garlic and remove. Add the beef rolls and brown well on all sides.

7. Add the beef rolls to the already heated tomato sauce, bring to a light boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes or until meat is very tender when pierced.

8. Lift out beef rolls to serving platter and skim off any fat from the sauce.

9. Remove cord from beef rolls and cut into slices. Pour a little sauce onto the bottom of a serving platter. Place slices on top of sauce and serve additional sauce on the side.

Beef Fajita


Servings | 4
Preparation Time | 20 min
Cooking Time | 11 min

This flavorful fajita filling is so good that you don’t need a tortilla. If you want to wrap it up, use a lettuce leaf. But torilla shells need not be ruled out.








Ingredients


2 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving)
12 oz lean sirloin beef, about 1/2-inch thick, trimmed
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 1/4 tsp chili powder

1 large sweet red pepper(s), sliced
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
8 large leaf lettuce, green leaf-variety
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup fat-free sour cream


Instructions


Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, drizzle steak with 2 teaspoons of lime juice and then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of chili powder.


Add steak to skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 6 minutes, turning once, for medium-rare, or longer until desired doneness. Remove to a cutting board and let stand.


Add onion, pepper and salt to skillet. Off heat, coat vegetables with cooking spray. Sauté over medium-high heat until onions and peppers are lightly browned and crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining lime juice, chili powder and cilantro.


Slice steak thinly across grain. Toss sliced steak with onion mixture and serve with salsa and sour cream. Yields about 4 slices of beef, 3/4 cup of vegetables, 2 tablespoons of salsa and 1 tablespoon of sour cream per serving.

Beef Ribs - a Beautiful Barbeque

Serve with generous helpings of garlic-bread, mixed green salad, corn on the cob, condiments of your preference, and beverages of your choice. This barbeque sauce may be a bit spicy, so keep lots of chopped lettuce on hand to cut the heat. Preparation time does not include the overnight marinating process. This process is essential to allow all of the flavours to meld into a beautiful thing. The additional bonus is that if your barbeque plans are washed out by rain, you can still bake the Beef Ribs in your oven roaster, with sauce poured over.

Beer and Beef Crockpot

We like this with mashed potatoes, pasta or rice and vegetables. I usually do not thicken the sauce, but that is a personal preference. I have made this with different types of beer, light, strong and sweet depending what was on hand. It freezes well.

Ingredients:

2 cups beer
3 lbs boneless beef chuck roast
1/2 cup plain flour
2-3 tablespoons butter, devided
2 onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper



8 hours 30 minutes ........30 mins prep

Add the beer to the crockpot, turn the control to high.
Cut the beef into cubes, coat with the flour and brown in half of the butter, you might have to do this in batches.
Transfer the browned beef to the crockpot.
Using the rest of the butter brown the onions, add garlic, tomato puree and cayenne if using.
Add to the crockpot together with the bay leaves and salt and pepper.
Now turn the crockpot to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours, until the beef is tender.
If you want to thicken the sauce add about 2 tablespoons of flour made into a paste, about 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, stir that in, you will have to turn the crockpot on high for this.

Honey Beef Stir-fry


Serves 4


INGREDIENTS:

1 lb flank steak
Marinade:
1 TB Chinese Rice Wine or dry sherry
2 tsp oyster sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
Sauce:
1/2 cup water
3 TB liquid honey
1 1/2 tsp black rice vinegar
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 4 tsp water
Other:
1 small red pepper
10 snow peas
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp chopped ginger
1 green onion
4 - 6 TB Oil for stir-frying

Cut the beef across the grain into thin strips, approximately 2 inches long. Add the marinade ingredients, using your fingers to mix them in and adding the cornstarch last. Marinate the beef for thirty minutes.

While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables and sauce: Wash all the vegetables and drain thoroughly, particularly the mung bean sprouts. String the snow peas. Cut the red pepper in half, remove the seeds, and cut into thin slices approximately 2 inches long. Cut the green onion on the diagonal into 1-inch slices. Chop the ginger and garlic.

To prepare the sauce, combine the water, honey, and black rice vinegar. Mix together the cornstarch and water in a separate small bowl. Set both aside.

Preheat a wok or frying pan and add 2 - 3 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the beef. Sear the meat briefly and then stir-fry until it changes color and is nearly cooked. (Stir-fry in two batches if necessary). Remove and drain on paper towels.

Wipe the wok clean with a paper towel and add about 2 TB more oil. When the oil is hot, add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until aromatic. Add the snow peas. Stir-fry briefly, and then add the red pepper, and finally the bean sprouts.

Make a well in the middle of the wok by pushing the vegetables up to the side. Add the sauce in the middle. Turn up the heat, give the cornstarch/water mixture a quick re-stir and add it to the sauce, stirring quickly to thicken. Mix the sauce in with the vegetables.

Add the beef. Turn down the heat and simmer for a few minutes until everything is cooked through. Stir in the green onion. Serve hot over rice.

Beef Stroganoff

Repost!

Ingredients:

2 pounds beef tenderloin cut into bite sized pieces
1/4 cup flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 14-oz. can beef broth
1 16-oz. (2 cups) container sour cream
1/4 cup dry red wine (optional)

Lightly coat tenderloin pieces with flour and salt and pepper. In a large saucepan, saute beef in butter with onions, mushrooms and garlic until meat is browned and onions and mushrooms are tender. Add Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and cook over medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes. Stir in sour cream and wine and heat for about 5 minutes. Serve over hot cooked noodles. Beef Stroganoff is real comfort food. The tender beef and gravy has a wonderful flavor that is traditionally served over noodles. Use the wide egg noodles rather than thin pasta-type noodles. If you don't like noodles, then you can serve this dish over rice.
--------------------------
Fried Apples

As an unusal side dish to the Stroganoff, which of course, is optional.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
8 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar

Melt butter in saucepan and add remainder of ingredients. Simmer until apples are tender about 20 - 25 minutes.
