How can I make a thick stew with beer?!
Answers:
Yes, you can, and preferably use a darker beer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well you don't make the stew thick with the beer, you make/use a roux for that!.
Beer is great for stew though in general!. I make a Herold Black Lager Stew so I can safely recommend that beer to you although you'd be safe with many dark/heavy beers!. It's nothing fancy, I just marinade the stew meat in the beer for 6-12 hours and then make a pretty standard stew with it!. I'm not a gourmet or 5 star chef but I think it's pretty darn good, others have agreed in the past!.
