I've been making this dish for many years now (25+ years) and it's as wonderful as all the recipes in Marcia Adams's books. This is a terrific make ahead dish and also works wonderfully as a freezer dish. I suggest using a good cut of beef. I also up the brown sugar by twice, as it adds a nice contrast to the tangy beer. Serve it with mashed potatoes, a veg side dish and salad and your guests will be happy!
