Recipe - Carnival Beeftips

Well, enough of philosophy in my first blog. Lets have some cook-fun.
This recipe is from Rachel Ray - the famous American culinary star.

Carnival Beeftips

Ingredients: Lean Beef tips, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), 1 can of chicken stock, onions (thinly sliced), mushrooms (cleaned with damp cloth and then thinly sliced), roasted almonds (sliced), freshly ground black pepper, salt, cilantro i.e. Dhaniya patta (finely chopped), beer (half cup).

How to - In a non-stick pan, heat some olive oil and stir-fry the beeftips with little salt and pepper until almost done (edges will get dark borwn). Set aside.

In the same oil (you may add more if need be) fry the onions and mushrooms until soft and dark brown in color. Add more black pepper powder (be generous in doing that). Deglaze the pan with chicken stock and then add a little beer (may skip if serving to kids)
Note: The beer must be put in after the stock. Otherwise the hot pan might catch fire. The beer is just for the fun-smell - just like carnivals!
Add the fried beeftips and salt to taste. Boil until the liquids reduce and meat is tender (may add more stock or water if needed). Toss in the toasted almonds and chopped cilantro.

Enjoy with hot steamed rice.
