In the Kitchen: Ale Braised Beef

Banquet Chef Todd May of Twin River Casino Hotel-Banquets, joined us in The Rhode Show kitchen to show us how to make their Ale Braised Beef.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 – 3 lb chuck roast
• 1 – 2 cups of flour
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 12 ounce can of brown ale North Carolina
• 2 onions peeled and quartered
• 12 carrots peeled, trimmed, and cut into 1 – 1 1/2 inch pieces

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 275
2. Combine flour with a generous amount of salt and pepper in a bowl
3. Dredge roast in flour, salt, and pepper mixture covering both sides and shake off excess
4. Heat oil and butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat
5. Add roast and sear on all sides – about 4 – 5 minutes each side
6. Remove roast from pot and set aside on a plate
7. Remove pot from heat and turn off burner
8. Carefully add beer to the pot – it will splash and splatter
9. Add pot back to medium heat and scrape all the bits from the bottom of the pot
