Savory, rich bacon and beef pair perfectly with beer, mustard, and red wine vinegar creating a well-rounded, complex flavor profile. The recipe comes together quickly and makes 16 cups–enough for 12 generous servings. Make sure to use low sodium beef broth to keep a balanced salt level. Serve with crusty bread, cornbread, or butter rolls.
Ingredients:
8 ounces bacon (about 7-8 slices), chopped
4 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-in. pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 large red onion (about 10 oz.), cut into 1/2-in. pieces
4 garlic cloves, chopped (about 2 Tbsp.)
1 cup beer
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
8 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 ounces baby golden potatoes
1 1/2 pounds Perfect Roasted Beef Tenderloin
3 tablespoons coarse-grain mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
How to Make It:
Step 1
Cook bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings in Dutch oven.
Step 2
Add carrots and onion to drippings in Dutch oven; cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, 4 to 6 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add beer; cook about 5 minutes, stirring and scraping to loosen browned bits from bottom of Dutch oven.
Step 3
Stir in flour; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and beginning to brown, 5 minutes. Whisk in broth, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add potatoes; cover and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in Beef, mustard, vinegar, and cooked bacon. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
