While flipping through the indexes of the cookbooks on our shelf to find dishes cooked with beer—we only scored one that sounded tasty (and is low-carb). Beer-Braised Beef with Onions from one of our all-time favorite chefs, Pierre Franey. Franey wrote a popular column for the NY Times called The 60 Minute Gourmet and also did a series for PBS.
