“Don't eat a beefsteak. If you do the eyes of that cow will pursue you through all eternity.”
James Joyce, Ulysses
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
2 tsp vegetable oil
4 shallots, chopped
2 small zucchini, chopped
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 green bell peppers, de-seeded, de-veined, and chopped
1 bottle/can Guinness®
1 can pumpkin puree
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
salt and pepper, to taste
Method
Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef, drain, and remove to a plate.
Add oil to the pot along with shallots, zucchini, peppers, and spices.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables soften. Return ground beef to pot, and carefully pour in beer. Use your spatula or spoon to scrape the bottom of the dutch oven to get all the browned bits.
Stir in pumpkin puree, along with both cans of beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer mixture 20 minutes. Stir in corn, and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
Serve with sour cream and shredded cheese, if desired.
