Recipe: Roasted beef steak with wild rice, vegetable and guinness sauce (for 1)
Ingredients:
- 1 piece of pot roasted beef steak
- 1 small carrot, chopped to small cubes
- 1/4 cup sweet peas, frozen or fresh
- 1/2 cup cooked wild rice (or 1/4 cup uncooked wild rice)
- 1/3 cup flat guinness
- 1/3 cup meat stock or juice of roasting the beef
- 1 tp tomato paste
Procedure:
1. To prepare uncooked wild rice, boil 1/4 cup wild rice in 1 cup water for about 40 minutes on medium or med-low heat, until wild rice fully opens up. Drain of excess liquid.
2. Mix guinness and meat stock and bring to a boil. Add cooked wild rice for 10 minutes on medium heat. Add carrot. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add tomato paste.
3. Reheat the roasted beef steak either in the pot or in microwave oven for a very short time. Do not overheat as it will toughen the beef immediately. Once the beef is heated up, take it out and place on serving plate.
3. Add peas to the pot and boil for a minute. Take out all solid ingredients from the pot and place on serving plate. Thicken the liquid in the pot into a sauce. Pour sauce onto beef and vegetables. Serve hot.
The sauce gives the beef the moisture it needs. This dish has a distinctive flavor of guinness. My husband really enjoys it.
