Beef chops with beer sauce

4 servings

60 minutes

Beef chops in beer sauce is a dish that combines the rich flavor of tender meat with an aromatic, caramelized sauce. The beef, lightly beaten and infused with spices, is fried to a golden hue and then stewed in an unusual yet harmonious blend of beer, ketchup, and brown sugar. This gives the sauce a slight sweetness and pleasant acidity, enriching the meat's flavor. Historically, dishes made with beer have been popular in Russian and European cuisine as this drink enhances the depth of flavors in meat dishes. Beef chops pair excellently with any side dishes—from mashed potatoes to fresh vegetables. They can be served as a hearty dinner or festive dish that will delight guests with their originality and rich taste.
