Guinness Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and shallots and sauté 3 minutes, until carrots look glazed. Add stout, dill and parsley, reduce heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes, until carrots are barely tender.
• Stir in maple syrup and salt and pepper to taste. Increase heat to high and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid barely films pan and carrots. Stir in lemon juice, check seasoning and serve.

Steps:

• Peel and slice carrots into long, thin slices.
• Melt butter in medium-size frying pan; add beer and carrots.
• Cook slowly until tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in salt and sugar.
• Cook for another 2 minutes and serve hot.

Steps:

• Place oven rack in upper-middle position and preheat to 300°F.
• Pat beef dry with paper towels. Stir together salt and pepper and sprinkle over beef. Heat 1 tbsp oil in Dutch oven until smoking. Add half of beef and cook without moving, 4-6 minutes, until well browned. Turn beef over and cook second side until well browned, another 4-6 minutes. If fat begins to smoke, reduce heat. Transfer beef to medium bowl. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
• Reduce heat to medium, add onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened and barely browned, 12-15 minutes. (If onions darken too quickly, add 1-2 tbsp water to pan.).
• Add tomato paste and stir constantly until it browns on sides and bottom of pan, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Turn heat up to medium-high, add Guinness, and simmer, scraping up fond from sides and bottom. Add beef broth, carrots, prunes, thyme, and bay leaf. Add beef and any juices in the bowl. Cover and bring to a simmer. Transfer to oven and cook 2 to 2½ hours, turning meat twice with tongs during cooking. When done, a fork will slip easily in and out of meat.
• Place water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer meat and carrots to serving platter; tent with foil. Strain cooking liquid through a fine strainer into a fat separator. Press on solids to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard solids. Allow to settle, then strain off fat. Return liquid to Dutch oven and reduce to 1 cup over medium heat, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in bloomed gelatin; season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce over meat and serve.

Steps:

• Chop onions, crush garlic and slice carrots and potatoes, do not skin.
• Cut meat into small chunks.
• Fry onions in dripping. When golden brown add crushed garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
• Remove onion and garlic from the frying pan and put aside. Add meat to remainder of dripping in pan and fry until meat is brown on all sides.
• Reduce heat and add flour. Coat the meat with the flour and add stock slowly to form a thick sauce. Add Guinness and simmer. Add onions and garlic, potatoes and carrots, herbs and season with salt and pepper. Stir all ingredients simmer for 1-2 hours.
• Don't cover. This gives it a thick sauce. Stir occasionally so that the meat doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan.
• Garnish with parsley before serving. This dish can be prepared the day before and reheated gently before serving. Great the next day.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in large lidded casserole dish, brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Add the onion and carrots to the dish, give them a good browning, then scatter over the flour and stir. Tip the meat and any juices back into the dish and give it all a good stir. Pour over the Guinness and crumble in the stock cube. Season the stew with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Tuck in the herbs and bring everything to a simmer.
• Cover with a lid and place in the oven for about 2½ hrs until the meat is really tender. The stew can now be chilled and frozen for up to 3 months - defrost completely before reheating until piping hot. Leave the stew to settle a little, then serve with Creamy parsnip mash for a true celebration of winter vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a large dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat.

• Stir in the garlic and cook about a minute more. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves and herbes de Provence, stirring until well blended.
• Pour in the beer, wine, and beef broth, stirring well.
• Cover, reduce heat and simmer for an hour to an hour and a half. The meat should be very tender. Take off the cover and taste for richness. If it needs more flavor and reducing, simmer for a short while longer uncovered.
• In a small bowl, work the flour into the butter to form a ball. Stir the butter/flour mixture well into the simmering stew to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
• At this point you may cool the stew and refrigerate to use later. If serving right away spoon into a casserole or casseroles, and top with a layer of puff pastry.
