Description

Instead of Guinness beer, you can use a strong porter, and sugar will not be needed.

Ingredients

Beef - 31.7 oz
Wheat Flour - 1.8 oz
Onion - 2 pieces
Guinness Beer - 20 fl oz
Garlic - 2 cloves
Orange zest - 1 piece
Butter - 0.9 oz
Vegetable Oil - 3 tablespoons
Bay leaf - 1 piece
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Ground Black Pepper - a pinch
Ground Nutmeg - ½ g
Brown Sugar - 1 teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Cut the meat into cubes about 2.5 cm in size, then coat it in a mixture of flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 2

Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a saucepan and sauté the meat for 2–3 minutes until browned. Then place it on a plate. In the same saucepan, add the sliced onions and crushed garlic cloves and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the sugar and cook for another minute until it turns into caramel.

Step 3

Return the meat to the saucepan and pour in the beer. We will need both the zest and juice from the orange. Add the juice along with half of the zest and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat to low for 1.5–2 hours, stirring occasionally. If the liquid in the saucepan becomes too thick, you can add a little water.
