We have a new appreciation for Guinness beer! Why? Because their storehouse has an executive chef, whose sole job is to prepare delicious meals made with Guinness! In this video the Dublin redhead Irish lad Chef Mark Smyth prepares for us a Guinness soaked beef sirloin, served with potatoes and steamed root vegetables. This legendary recipe is said to be the most requested dish by tourists at the brewery.
1 lb sirloin steak
1 shallot, quartered
6 garlic cloves, pressed
3-5 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tsp steak seasoning
1 can Guinness stout
1. Cut steak into 4 ounce serving size pieces and remove any fat.
2. In a large dish, combine shallots, garlic, steak seasoning and 3/4 of the Guinness. Marinate the steak for 3 hours.
3. In a very hot skillet, sear the meat for 2 minutes per side for rare, longer if you prefer more well done. Remove to a warm plate.
4. Add the marinade and the rest of the Guinness to the skillet and boil to reduce by about 75%. Remove rosemary and shallots.
5. Serve steak with reduction sauce drizzled over it.
