Oxtail Curry With A Mildly Spiced Kingfisher Beer Sauce
I have loved experimenting with Kingfisher beer!
It was hellishly cold outside the day I made this but it was nothing a nice hot curry and a fire in the fireplace couldn’t fix. I’d perhaps rather foolishly decided to ride my bike out to our local farmshop. The round trip journey was 14 miles and the ice on the roads wasn’t any help. Riding back with my cargo on my back of chopped up ox tail, a rump roast and way too many vegetables, I felt really stupid. The snow was blowing in my face and there I was… no one to blame but myself.
I’m only telling you this because I’m never going to do anything like that again. Never!
Anyway, back to more important things like what I made when I got home. If you like beef and mildly spicy curries, you’re going to want to try this. The curry is one of a series I’m experimenting with using Kingfisher beer. I do like drinking Kingfisher but it also works quite well in a nice hot dish.
If you live somewhere where you can’t purchase Kingfisher, don’t let that stop you. Try using any good quality pale lager.
