Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb boneless beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon butter
2 large carrots, peeled, sliced
1 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed and drained
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup beef broth
1/3 cup dark beer (or stout)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

Season beef cubes to taste with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in a heavy medium skillet over high heat; add beef and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Using slotted spoon, remove beef to a bowl.
Lower heat to medium-low and add carrots and onions, toss to coat with pan juices.
Add flour while stirring and continue to stir 1 minute to lightly toast the flour.
Stir in broth and ale slowly, then return the beef (and any juices in the bowl) to the pan.
Cover and let simmer until beef and carrots are tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes or so.
Season again with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
