Steak And Ale Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Season steaks on both sides with salt, pepper and butter. Put onto a hot grill and brown on both sides.
• In a Dutch oven or cast iron fry pan, add 1/2 stick of butter, onions, mushrooms and salt. Place lid on top and allow them to sweat.
• Add beer and place steaks in pan. Allow to stew until tender.
• Combine the thyme, parsley, nutmeg, remaining butter and flour together. Use this to thicken the sauce so as to be able to coat the back of a spoon.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.
• Combine the flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a ziplock plastic bag.
• Toss the meat in the flour, a few pieces at a time.
• Add the meat, a few pieces at a time, to the oil and brown on all sides.
• Transfer the browned meat to the insert of a 5-7 quart slow cooker.
• When all the meat is browned, add the onions, garlic, and thyme to the same skillet over med-high heat and saute until the onions begin to soften and become translucent.
• Add the ale to the pan and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Transfer the contents of the skillet to the slow cooker insert and add broth, carrots, parsnips, and potatoes.
• Cover and cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or on LOW for 8-10 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the beef is fork tender.
• Season with salt and pepper before serving.
