    Robert's Beer Beef Stew


    This recipe is from my Canadian friend Robert...

    1.  Coat approximately 2 pounds of lean stewing beef, cut into 1" cubes with flour, (about 1/2 cup) seasoned with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper.

    2.  In a frypan, heat thoroughly 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Add floured meat and cook over medium heat until evenly browned.

    3.  Add 2 onions, coarsely diced and 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped.
    Combine with meat and cook over low to medium heat until onions are transparent.

    3.  Add 12 ounces of beer (2 cans), Canadian beer is the best to use. 1 Supercan of beer with 1 can of beef broth or consomme is good too). Stir.

    4.  Add 1 tablespoon of soya sauce, 1 tablespoon of HP sauce (or steak sauce), 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of ketchup, 2 bay leaves and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. Stir.


    Bring to boil and simmer for 1+1/2 hours or until meat is almost tender.
    Then add 3 potatoes, peeled and quartered, 3 carrots, peeled and sliced, (I sometimes add a rutabaga, but it needs to be added 20 minutes before potatoes and carrots).
    Simmer for an additional 1/2 hour.


    Add 1 10 ounce package of frozen peas, (or fresh ones if you like).
    Bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until meat and vegetables are tender.  Remove bay leaves.
    Makes 5 or 6 servings. I make mine in a Dutch oven roasting pan, eliminating the frypan.
    Enjoy! .....  Serve with a salad and some crusty buns  ..... delicious!

    Irish Soda Bread

    Ingredients

    • 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
    • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup currants
    • 2 teaspoons caraway seeds
    • 3/4 cup buttermilk

    Cooking Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a pie pan with cooking spray.

    2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in currants and caraway seeds. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until just combined. (Do not overmix.)

    3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times. Form into a ball, flatten slightly and place in the prepared pie pan. Brush the top with buttermilk and dust with flour. With a sharp knife, cut a 1/2-inch-deep X into the top of the loaf.

    4. Bake the loaf until it is brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.
