CHEF NOTES:


How To Reheat: Simply add the desired amount to a small pot and cook over low heat until hot. You can also heat in a microwave save bowl in the microwave until hot.

How To Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It will freeze well covered in the freeze for up to 2 months. Be sure to thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.

After adding in the beer, I mention to reduce it. This simply means some of the liquid evaporates while becoming more concentrated in flavor. You would only reduce the amount of liquid in this recipe by a few tablespoons so that the beer flavor profile still comes through.

When you “pince” this is a French term which means to brown the paste in beef fat over low heat until it becomes a rust color. It adds more flavor and helps to thicken.

This serves 12 people but because of the great storing options we always freeze the leftovers.
