Amazing Beer Braise
Take any kind of meat you want to use, and for extra flavor maybe some bacon or sausage. In a large saucepan, melt some butter with some extra virgin olive oil. Throw in your meat, and let it sizzle for a bit- until it starts sweating.
When you’re sure the pan is quite hot enough, pour in at least a bottle of beer. Bring to a boil, and simmer. Let the beer evaporate, and once there’s nothing but oil left in the pan, sprinkle with some salt and pepper, and add about a half a cup of sour cream.
Stir until smooth and hot. Serve!
Choose a beer you enjoy drinking… the flavor of the beer will make a difference in creating your sauce. A bitter beer will give you a stronger hops, malt and yeast flavor; whereas a lighter beer can result in a sweeter sauce.

I just tried this beer braised recipe, with my pork loin. I used a spanish chorizo (soft one) for my extra meat, and simmered it for about an hour and a half. and it is sooooo delicious!! the pork is very tender, and the chorizo became part of the sauce. I will be wrapping this with my fillo pastry, and see how it goes for breakfast tomorrow. thanks!!
