I couldn't find a beef and ale recipe, but here's a WW beef and guiness casserole:
POINTS� Value: 5.5
Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 130 min
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
5 spray low-fat cooking spray
500 g lean beef fillet steak, (1lb 2oz), cut into chunks
2 large onion(s), sliced
3 stick celery, chopped
2 medium carrot(s), sliced
2 portion stock cube, beef, dissolved in 300ml (1/2 pint) hot water
600 ml Guinness Draught Guinness, (1 pint)
175 g mushrooms, (6oz), sliced
2 teaspoon parsley, fresh, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme, dried
450 g potato(es), (1lb), peeled and cut into chunks
1 pinch salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180�C / fan oven 160�C / Gas Mark 4.
Spray a large flameproof casserole dish with low fat cooking spray and place over a high heat. Add the beef a handful at a time, so that it seals and browns. Add the onions, celery and carrots and cook over a medium heat for 3 - 4 minutes.
Add the stock, (click here for a yeast and wheat free stock recipe) Guinness, mushrooms, parsley and thyme. Season. Bring up to the boil, then cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 1 � hours.
Add the potatoes. Cover and cook for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are done and the meat is tender.
Use stewing steak instead of braising steak. Just make sure that it is very lean.
