Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 pounds boneless chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 slices bacon, chopped
3 medium onions, chopped
5 garlic cloves, sliced
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
One 12-ounce bottle amber ale
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
[For Serving:] Gruyere or Swiss cheese toasts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the roast generously with salt and pepper. Sear the beef in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring, until crispy. Set aside for garnish. Add the onion, garlic and bay leaves to the bacon drippings and cook until slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the beer stir until thickened. Stir in the beef broth.
  • Return the browned beef to the Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer, cover, transfer to the oven, and braise, flipping halfway through the cooking time, until the meat is fork tender and easy to pull apart, about 3 1/2 hours. Skim off and discard the fat from the top of the sauce before serving. Discard the bay leaves. Slice the post roast and serve with the sauce and cheese toasts. Sprinkle with bacon and parsley.

BEER-BRAISED BEEF AND ONIONS



Beer-Braised Beef and Onions image

This hearty, warming beef and onion stew is flavored with Belgian beer, bay leaves and sweet paprika. A variation on a traditional Flemish carbonnade, it's rich and homey but still lively, with a ruddy color from the paprika. The very large quantity of onions adds sweetness, and also helps make the sauce velvety soft. Serve it over potatoes, noodles or polenta.

Time 3h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon kosher salt, more as needed
1 teaspoon black pepper, more for garnish
6 bay leaves
2 teaspoons sweet paprika, more for garnish
4 pounds boneless beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, more as needed
4 Spanish or very large yellow onions, thinly sliced
6 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh parsley, plus chopped parsley, for garnish
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups beef or chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 cup beer, preferably Belgian-style or brown ale
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Dijon-style mustard, preferably extra-hot, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine salt, pepper, bay leaves and paprika. Toss meat to coat, then cover, refrigerate and marinate at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large (8-quart) Dutch oven or other heavy pot, heat butter and oil over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, brown beef on two sides until dark and crusty, transferring to a bowl when browned (reserve bay leaves). As you cook, add more oil and adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.
  • When all the meat is browned, add onions to the empty pot and return the heat to medium-high if you lowered it. Cook, stirring and scraping up the brown coating on the bottom of the pan as the onions release their liquid.
  • Continue cooking until onions are deeply golden brown and soft, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, make a bouquet garni by tying thyme, parsley and reserved bay leaves together with kitchen string (or just throw them in the pot and warn your guests not to eat them).
  • Push the onions to the sides, then add tomato paste, coriander and cinnamon to the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, until paste is darkened and fragrant. Stir in flour, cook another minute, then add stock, beer, 1 cup water and bouquet garni. Return beef and any juices in the bowl to the pot, bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to oven. Cook until beef is tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, turning it over halfway through.
  • If the sauce seems thin, remove the meat with a slotted spoon; cover with foil to keep warm. Return pot with liquid to stove and simmer until thickened to taste, 5 to 10 minutes. Return the meat to pot and stir to heat through. Serve from the pot or a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley, flaky sea salt, pepper and paprika. Serve with mustard on the side.

BONE-IN HAM COOKED IN BEER



Bone-In Ham Cooked in Beer image

This is a recipe we have used for the past 5 years. The beer really tenderizes the ham. Using beer is probably a Wisconsin thing. We seem to find many uses for it. But don't worry, the ham will not taste like beer when it is done other than maybe a small hint on the bottom portions. I don't like beer at all, so I was quite skeptical at first, but when I found out that the ham I had at my friend's house for Christmas the year before had beer used to make it, I tried it and have been hooked ever since.

BEER-BRAISED BRISKET WITH ONIONS



Beer-Braised Brisket With Onions image

Clipped from a cooking magazine. I also saw it on epicurious.com. The cook's note associated with the recipe stated: Brisket improves in flavor if braised 2 days ahead, cooled in sauce, uncovered then chill, surface covered with parchment paper or wax paper and pot covered with lid. Remove any solidified fat before reheating. Slice cold meat across the grain and reheat in oven with the sauce in a shallow baking pan, covered, for 45 minutes.*Cover the meat in the liquid as much as you can while cooking to avoid the meat from drying out. I tried to add more beer and balsamic later but it didn't taste the same. I think beef broth or water would have been a better choice to get more liquid for gravy.

Fresh Ham with Cracklings and Pan Gravy image

Categories     Beer     Mustard     Roast     St. Patrick's Day     Ham     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8 with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 17

an 8- to-10 pound fresh ham (shank and leg of pork)
vegetable oil for rubbing the ham
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon English-style dry mustard
12 ounces beer (not dark)
watercress sprigs for garnish
For the gravy
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon English-style mustard
1/4 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • With a small sharp knife prick the ham skin all over, make 4 parallel 1/2-inch-deep incisions through the skin the entire length of the ham, and rub the ham lightly with the oil. In a small bowl rub together the coarse salt, the thyme, the sage, the pepper, and the mustard and rub the mixture over the entire surface of the ham. Put the ham on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan and put the pan in a preheated 500°F. oven. Reduce the temperature immediately to 325°F.> and roast the ham for 1 hour. Pour half the beer over the ham, roast the ham for 30 minutes more, and pour the remaining beer over the ham. Roast the ham for 2 1/2 hours more, or until a meat thermometer registers 170°F., and let it cool on the rack in the pan for 15 minutes. Pull off the brown crisp skin, leaving the layer of fat on the ham, with scissors cut the skin into small pieces, and arrange the cracklings in one layer in a baking pan. Sprinkle the cracklings with salt and bake them in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until they are crisp and browned. Transfer the cracklings to paper towels and let them drain. Cut the remaining fat from the ham, slice the meat thinly across the grain, and arrange it on a platter. Keep the ham warm, covered.
  • Skim off the fat from the juices in the roasting pan, add 1 cup water, and deglaze the pan over moderate heat, scraping up the brown bits. Transfer the liquid to a saucepan. In a small bowl whisk together the flour and 1/4 cup of the broth until the flour is dissolved and whisk the mixture into the deglazing liquid with the remaining 3/4 cup broth, the mustard, the sage, the thyme, and the vinegar and pepper to taste, and simmer the gravy, whisking, for 5 minutes.
  • Garnish the ham with the cracklings and the watercress sprigs and serve it with the gravy.

8 cloves garlic, peeled
1 bone-in fresh ham (16 to 18 lbs.), tough skin removed but a 1/4-inch-thick layer of fat remaining
2 tbsp. EVOO
1 tbsp. caraway seeds
Salt and pepper
1 bottle beer, preferably lager

Steps:

Tent with foil and let rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, pour the juices and onions from the roasting pan into a large, heatproof measuring cup; let the juices settle. Skim off any fat that rises to the surface. 4.Using a sharp knife, carve the ham into thin slices. Reheat the pan juices and onions if necessary and serve with the meat.
