A FAUX CARBONADE FLAMANDE (BELGIAN FLEMISH POT ROAST)
The ideal beer to use in this recipe would be a Sezoen or Saison from Belgium,but I used a SHOCK TOP END of the WORLD MIDNIGHT WHEAT for its simular style spice content.
1.3lb boneless eye round roast
2.1lb bag of baby carrots
3. 2 stalks of celery diced
4.1 green bell pepper seeded and diced
5.1 large yellow onion peeled and diced
6.2 cloves of garlic peeled and minced
7.1 envelope of onion soup mix
8.1 12oz of wheat beer
9.1 cup of tomato juice
10.2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
11.1 teaspoon of black pepper

Cut the roast into serving size portions.
Place the carrots,celery,green bell pepper,and onion into a slow cooker.
Place the meat pieces on top of the vegetables and sprinkle with onion soup mix and black pepper.
Add the beer,tomato juice,Worcestershire to a bowl and mix well.
Pour into the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
 

Similar to my Irish Pot Roast except I use whatever beer we happen to be drinking on that day. :)

Guinness Stout works well with an Irish Pot Roast!
Another beer to try is THEAKSTON's OLD PECULIER from MASHAM,Yorkshire,UK.It is an old style ale made from pale and crystal malts,wheat,brewers' caramel and three sugars.Several hop varieties are used,including Northern Brewer and dry hopped with Fuggles,and the yeast strain is a 40 year mixed strain,which gives this ale a soft fruitiness,somewhat like blackcurrents.It imparts a great taste to the meat.
Do you have any other recipies with beer?
 

Honestly I put beer or wine in almost everything I cook especially chili, pasta sauce and my vegetable beef soup.

One thing that is especially good is poached salmon in beer. Don't use Gunness or a dark ale. Use a pale ale. Get a good sized salmon filet at Costco or somewhere. Melt a couple of tablespoons of margarine in a saute' pan. Then put in 1 or 2 beers and add 2 tablespoons of dried dill (or fresh if you have it), 1 tablespoon of parsley, a pinch of garlic, salt, and squeeze a half of a lemon in. Stir it gently while it heats up on medim heat. Once the liquid is hot but not boiling put the salmon filet in the pan and turn the stove down to medium low and let it gently simmer until done. Make sure the fish is pretty much covered by the liquid. Then just take it out and serve it on a platter with lemon wedges. I usually serve my homemade tartar sauce on the side.

I usually serve the poached salmon and bacon wrapped quail at my annual St Paddy's Day dinner. Everone seems to love it.
 

Have you ever cooked with a Belgian lambic?They are a wild yeast fermented sour mash wheat beer with fruit added to the last fermentation-cherry,raspberry or peach.Lindemans peach lambic is my wife's favorite.These beers are NOT to be compared with American fruit beers which do not come close at all.
The Restaurant Le Bruegel,Damme,Belgium serves a Terrine of pork with cherries marinated in Kriek (cherry) lambic,served with a salad dressed in lambic,and accompanied with a glass of gueze(a blend of young and old lambic beers that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle and has a sparkle like champagne.
I do appreciate you sharing your recipe,and I hope others join in with theirs.

This sounds wonderful Dixiegal. I'm not much on salmon but it seems the beer would add a little something something to it to brighten up the flavors.
 

You should try the "salmon with tomatoes" recipe on allrecipes.com, coilygirl. Delicious and simple!

PS: This recipe requires one of the larger crock pots.
 

Wow, I will try those recipes. For myself, we cook our chicken with Guinness, but it can be any beer of your choice (a dark tasty beer ideally). Really easy and quick.
- Start the oven at 350F
- Open your favourite beer can (has to be a big one), drink half of it.
- Make your own spices mix, rub the chicken with it and put the rest in the beer can.
- Put a dripping pan in the oven, put the beer can on the pan and sit the chicken on the beer can.
- Chicken is ready when leg bone is turning loose. Enjoy!
 

Spartacus53, the etiquette is to not touch your beer with your hands, must use a straw :headbang:
More seriously, I'll have to try the carbonade recipe with Guinness, thanks!
