Directions for: Warm Beef & Spinach Salad with Irish Stout Fondue
Ingredients
Warm Beef & Spinach Salad300 g (10 oz) beef, thinly sliced
180 g (2 cups) button mushrooms, quartered
150 g (1-5oz package) spinach
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
salt & pepper
olive oil
Irish Stout Fondue300 g (10 oz) Irish cheddar, shredded
250 mL (1 cup) stout beer
2 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsp sugar
tsp salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Warm Beef & Spinach Salad1. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a large frying pan and then add the mushrooms and saute until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Generously season the beef with salt and pepper and then add to the frying pan with the mushroom. Saute until the beef is browned, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and then toss in the spinach and balsamic vinegar. If you do not have enough room in the frying pan, this can be done in a large mixing bowl. The retained heat from the beef and mushrooms will be enough to wilt the spinach.
Irish Stout Fondue1. In a mixing bowl, toss the cheese with the flour. In a small sauce pot, bring the beer to a gentle simmer and then slowly incorporate the cheese, whisking constantly. Add the sugar, salt & pepper and let simmer on low heat for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Divide the warm salad on 4 plates and then pour the cheese sauce over.
