My mother used to make something she called beef and beer. She would cut up a nice steak and put it in a pot with beer and some other stuff and served it over rice. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Every week my wife makes the shopping list and always needs another meal, I invariably answer beef and beer. she never makes it because she is allergic to hops. I try to tell her that cooking releases all that to no avail. I will see if I can dig up the recipe for you more fortunate folks!
