Beef Braised in Beer

Who/When/Source

Ingredients

Steps

Start with about 3 pounds of beef.
Mix about ¼ cup of flour with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste.
Dust the beef cubes with the flour mix and brown in olive oil. This works best in a heavy pot that can go from the stove top to the oven.
After the meat is browned, add the shallots or onion and brown those a bit.
Once everything is a bit brown, add a bottle of beer, cover the pot, and put in the oven at 350°F for about 2 ½ to 3 hours until it is nice and tender.
Check it occasionally to make sure there is still liquid in the pot.

I don't have quantities for the ingredients, so this is more a description then a recipe.
I tend to be a little heavy handed with the pepper and nutmeg.
Really good served with egg noodles.
If you want to make more or less, the meat should fill the bottom of the pot and the beer should be about 1/3 to 2/3 the depth of the meat.
