A must-eat meal should be on your radar for St. Patrick’s Day and it is corned beef stew. Going ahead and swiping the corned beef with Guinness into your dish is the best way to make it incredibly delicious. Nitrogenation is the technology used for producing Guinness with its velvety unusual touch.
Getting nervous about your slow cooker and preparing Guinness corned beef? Do not worry, it is simple. If you want to succeed then do not forget to leave your Guinness at room temp before its use.
Choosing between point-cut and flat-cut corned beef:
While the point-cut and flat-cut corned beef may seem the same, on the one hand, you’ll want to look for environmental and health benefits. You will examine the taste, look, and price, of course.
While finding corned beef in the grocery store, there are two types – one is flat-cut and the other one is point-cut. This recipe is made of either of these cuts, and you may tend to go for any of these, according to your choice. If you prefer the corned beef to be less fatty, flat-cut is the best pick for you. For this scenario, the larder does not reduce the fat content found in the point-cut beef.
Corned beef is often a beef cut soaked well in brine and spices, to resemble the taste and texture of corned beef. The seasoning of salt and other agents goes to the beef. There are other main ingredients that you can use and it depends on what foods you love. To get any recipe right, you first must cook it slowly or roast your beef.
Follow along the steps to making Guinness corned beef:
Here is a quick tutorial on how to make it – Guinness beer corned beef.
Sear the corned beef
Searing the meat in your pan is the initial stage of your classic recipe. Searing process causes the condition on the outside to morph into the brown colour. This is not going to be delivered with your stove at slow speed either (sorry!). You should also keep in mind that fermentation is an extra step to make your recipe perfectly edible. Therefore, to skip the saturated layer of fat in the corned beef that will eventually go to the stew, trim the corned beef to avoid making the stew fatty. You have to also season the beef with pepper, salt, other herbs and spices to make it more palatable.
Choose aromatic ingredients
Take a microwave-friendly dish and combine ingredients like:
- Tomato paste
- Onions
- Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
- Garlic
Microwave them for 5 minutes and stir the ingredients every 2 minutes. Make sure the onions are tender. You can then put the ingredients into your slow cooker.
Add vegetables and cook
To make the stew tastier, you need to add veggies and Guinness beer. The most commonly chosen ingredients are carrots and potatoes. Starches in potatoes will absorb the flavourful liquid. You can then cook them for at least 6 hours at low temperatures. Ensure that potatoes have become tender.
The stew will gain a thin consistency after a couple of hours. You may add some all-purpose flour to make the sauce thicker.
Pour it into your slow cooker, and after 30 minutes, the sauce will slightly thicken. It must cling to the veggies and beef. Serve the hot stew in a bowl and garnish it in your own way.
It is easy to prepare Guinness corned beef with only a few ingredients. With your slow cooker, you can make your beef soft and juicy. It takes a minimal effort to make the meal. What’s more, you may customise the meal based on your needs. Using the beer is a way to make the meal flavourful. You may try out other recipes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
