Description

This robust Pork Stew With Beer is the ultimate comfort food for chilly evenings. Tender cubes of pork shoulder slow-simmer in a flavorful broth enriched by a full bottle of beer, creating a deep, malty backbone. The dish is brightened with fresh cilantro, zesty serrano chile, and warm spices like cumin and oregano, while caramelized onions and garlic provide a savory foundation.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut the meat into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the pork cubes to the hot oil and cook, stirring frequently, until browned on all sides and any released liquid has evaporated, about 25 minutes.
  4. Remove the browned pork from the pot using a slotted spoon and set aside.
  5. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the Dutch oven.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot.
  7. Cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion is soft and translucent.
  8. Add the canned whole tomatoes, finely chopped serrano chile, cilantro, salt, cumin, and oregano to the pot.
  9. Use a fork to break up the whole tomatoes into smaller pieces.
  10. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  11. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  12. Return the browned pork to the pot and pour in the beer.
  13. Bring the stew back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  14. Cover the pot and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
  15. Stir in the cut red pepper pieces.
  16. Bring to a boil again, then reduce heat to low.
  17. Simmer, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  18. Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the stew before serving.
