Photo: Steak and Ale Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 sirloins steaks sliced to 1/2-inch
- Butter
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 4 ounces sliced button mushrooms
- 1 pint English pale ale (recommended: Bass)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 stick butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
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.

My husband and I tried this recipe and didn't really care for it. The preparation was fine, but we did not like the taste. My mother used to make a steak dish and she used bell pepper for the gravy and I much prefer the taste of that than the mushrooms. I would not make this again!

Just had this one for Sunday Lunch, cooked in a cast iron dutch oven. A few comments on an otherwise excellent recipe.
1 We thought it might also be good with a fattier cut of meat, like a stew meat.
2 If this were a "one-pot" kind of recipe, the directions could be modified to first brown the stew meat in the pot, remove and set aside, then continue with the existing directions.
3 For sides, we had carrots (baby-style, cooked in microwave and no potato but a hearty bread or a sweet dinner roll. The former continues the hearty feel of the meal, and the latter provides a contrast to the thick sauce/gravy.
4 We struggled with thickening the sauce. It took longer than we thought and while it wasn't ultimately an issue, a head's up to others - be prepared.
However, I don't want readers to feel that we're complaining - after all, we did rate it 5 stars - rather offering some suggestions and advice. This was a great meal for a cold day (no so cold today, but... and it probably scales well IF you're not scaling up too much. Double recipe is probably manageable, 2 1/2 times is maybe, and beyond that we'd have trouble; YMMV.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
