What each ingredient does
- Ale
- Provides the liquid and a malty, bitter flavour that concentrates as it simmers.
- Brown sauce
- Adds savoury depth and moisture to the braising liquid.
The step that matters
Simmer until the ale is soft. Gentle simmering softens the ale and concentrates its flavours. Simmering too long reduces the liquid and intensifies bitterness, so watch the pot closely.
