"From Rachael Ray's mag. This is so good with some mashed potatoes to soak up the "beer gravy", as I call it."

PAC Fall 2007 - As I didn't have shallots, I used an onion instead. Because of this, I cooked the veggies first and set them aside. I then cooked the steaks, removed them, and returned the veggies to the pan with the beer and Worcestershire sauce. The sauce seemed a little thin so I added some cornflour to thicken it a little. I used a beer called Hobgoblin, which is a strong dark ale. This had a really nice flavor and would definitely make again. Thanks Brisket!
