Beer Non Veg Recipe

The next time you make a pan sauce for boiled chicken or pork, use beer instead of wine. This will not only help deglaze the burnt bits in the pan, but will also improve the taste.

Light beer like lager adds a different taste to the sauce. On the other hand, if you want some strong taste, then stout is right for you. Along with this, cooking shellfish like prawns and fish in beer also enhances their taste.

Can also be marinated or steamed

Usually spices, curd and vinegar are used to marinate meat. This takes 2-4 hours. But when you use beer for marinating or steaming, this time is reduced to half.

The enzymes present in beer soften the meat quickly, which takes less time to cook. For this, prepare a paste by mixing beer with spices in a bowl, then soak the meat well in it and leave it covered for some time and then cook it.
