Ingredients
- One 16 oz. sirloin of beef
- One 16 oz can of Guinness Pub Draught Stout
- One small onion
- Two shallots
- 1/2 tsp of Garlic salt
- 2 pats of butter
Instructions
This recipe is pretty self-explanatory. Take the sirloin and admire its color and lovely fat marbling. Place steak on a large piece of tin foil. Next, cut into semi-large pieces, the onion. Add that to the top of the steak. Then, chop the shallots into fine pieces. Add to the top of the onions. Put the two pats of butter on top of all of that and sprinkle the garlic salt on top. Then, curl up the corners and sides of the foil to make a sort of bowl to which liquid can be added…..because here it comes….Finally, it is time. Add about 3 ounces of the Guinness and close it all up tightly. You may enjoy the rest of the Guinness at your leisure. Take another piece of foil and wrap it around the entire package to form a double wall of foil so the goodness stays inside. Cook in the coals or just above a hot fire for about 45 minutes for medium. Subtract 5-6 minutes for each level rarer and add 5-6 minutes for each level more well done. Open the package carefully and enjoy. Oh yeah, grab another Guinness, pour into a nice clear cup and enjoy the cascade. Now, pick up your fork and knife and enjoy!!
