Guinness Beer is one of the first things to come to mind on St. Patrick’s Day. With more than 250 years of history, Guinness has been considered one of Ireland’s most revered stout beers. It also adds a subtly sweet grain flavor and enhances the tastes of steaks, stews, fry-ups, and even dessert such as ice cream and cake. Let's learn how to cook with Guinness beer using these delicious recipes.
Guinness Steak Gravy
Ingredients
7 oz. milk chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup Guinness Stout
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
1. Put the chopped chocolate in a large bowl; set a mesh strainer over the top.
2. In a medium sauce pan, heat the milk, sugar, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Pour slowly the warm mixture into the egg yolks (otherwise, egg will scramble).
3. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan. Stir the mixture constantly over low-medium heat with a wooden spoon until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon.
4. Pour the custard through the strainer over the milk chocolate; stir until the chocolate is melted.
5. Whisk in the cream, Guinness and vanilla. Stir until cool in an ice bath.
6. Refrigerate the mixture thoroughly; freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
