Cooking with Red Wine and Stout Beer: 2 beef recipes that could soon become your go-to comfort food | Pulselive Kenya

Miriam Mwende

This week Pulselive is bringing you not one but two recipes that will make your mealtimes more comforting despite the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

In case seeing "red wine" and "stout beer" makes you cringe at the thought of possibly intoxicating your family, we'd like to clarify that all the alcohol in the drinks evaporates while cooking so don't be shy to try this. And if you still are, then maybe try it on your next dinner date with your special someone.

The Pulselive twist for Sweet stout beer stew

Stout beer has a certain bitter taste that remains even with cooking but Pulselive has the trick that will make this dish more palatable and it's sugar! Just 4 tablespoons of normal white sugar or two of brown sugar will sweeten up this stew in no time. Also, carrots tend to carry that natural sweetness so don't forget to add them to the pot.

<ul><li>After marinating the steak, place in a hot cooking pan or grill and cook to your preference (ours was well done). We also used the marinade to cook the steak, it produced a very tasty and shiny outer coat for the steak.</li></ul>
