Pepper Stout Beef Variations?

jeffreywp1 · Jul 19, 2014

I am going to cook this tomorrow for the first time. The original recipe sounds solid but was wondering if anyone had tried any variations on the recipe? Off hand I think I will be adding some whole grain mustard to the braise after shredding. And even though it would be a different dish altogether, has anyone tried using wine instead of beer?

I almost bough mushrooms for this dish but decided to try it as is. When I shred the meat I may add some mustard after I taste test.

Red wine works great. Mushrooms too, button or champignons tho.

My first chuckie red wine and bbq sauce without the vegies. That was really good.

I love poblano peppers. I am using Sierra Nevada Stout instead of Guinness. I don't care for Guinness.

I've done this recipe probably 6 or 7 times, and can never taste the flavor profile that the Guinness gives, I'm not sure the beer matters.

If you wouldn't drink it you shouldn't cook with it. Cooking beer, wine or vinegar only intensifies the flavor.

I like to use beef broth, with a bell pepper, 1 or 2 Anaheim's and an onion. I go kind of light on the broth, then at the end add a little broth with some corn starch in it. Not enough to make jello.....just enough to thicken what broth is left, to something between broth and gravy.

It's kind of a mix between the recipes I've seen here and one I saw the BBQ Pitboys do.

(It was their po boy beef sandwich recipe.)

Sound good. I may try and thicken my sauce a little if it is very wet when I shred it.

I did Shiner, Onions, Bell Peppers, Mushrooms, and Jalapeno's for my first. It was great...

I started to add shrooms, but decided to cut cost. I couldn't believe I spent $200 still! Not just on this meal though
