Cooking with homebrew

[thisgoestoeleven]

Tonight, I cooked up some skirt steak for dinner with a pan sauce made with butter, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and some homebrewed pale ale. It was delicious! What have guys cooked with your homebrew, or paired with it?

Sunday I slow cooked a Sirloin Tip Roast in Oatmeal Stout. Seasoned it with Onion, Garlic, a few Jalapenos, a couple Habeneros, Salt, Pepper, and some Allspice. The Juice made an awesome gravy with just a bit of spicyness.

I made a beef stew with short ribs and an English mild for the only liquid over the winter. Was unbelievably good.

Bratz cooked stove top in brown ale. Or an ipa paired with pesto chicken with garlic herb mashed potatoes. Stout with ice cream or a late night syrup covered waffle is also another one of my indulgences.

I got my hands on a packer brisket, corned the flat, and turned the point into pastrami. Then I simmered the corned piece in my oatmeal stout. Delicious - just had the last of the corned beef in sandwiches yesterday.

Radical Brewing has an awesome section on cooking with beer. Basically your go-to beers to cook with are bock/marzen/dubbel for anything savory, and tripel as a substitute for white wine. Hoppy beers are not your friends for cooking.

Mussels with tripel is a classic. I also made pretty awesome beer floats with mocha stout and vanilla ice cream.

dark beer + any cheese fondue
cider + emmenthal/gruyere fondue

flemish beef (and wild mushroom) stew
(rhymes??)
use a sweeter dark malty beer like leffe bruin, brown the beef well then cook it low and slow, and add cider vinegar at the end to get the sweet/tart contrast, fresh thyme... yum
