Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. 2 Bring stout and butter to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until butter has melted. Mix in cocoa powder until smooth.
  3. 3 Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  4. 4 Mix eggs with sour cream in a large bowl using an electric mixer on low until well combined. Add beer mixture slowly, followed by flour mixture, until batter is smooth.
  5. 5 Divide batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 17 to 19 minutes.
  7. 7 Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  8. 8 Meanwhile, lay bacon strips on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Baste with 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup, covering both sides.
  9. 9 Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Turn bacon over, baste with remaining syrup, and bake until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes more, watching to make sure not to burn.
  10. 10 Remove bacon and lay strips on parchment paper so they don't stick to foil upon cooling. Let cool completely, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop into pieces.
  11. 11 Combine butter and powdered sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in cream cheese until smooth. Beat in maple syrup. Frost cooled cupcakes and top with bacon bits.

Instructions

  1. 1 Rub steaks down with a pinch or two of salt. Let rest for 30 minutes to absorb salt.
  2. 2 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 385 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. 3 Mince 1 clove of garlic and set aside. Cut tops off 2 remaining cloves and rub with olive oil. Wrap in foil.
  4. 4 Roast garlic in the preheated oven until cloves are tender and browned, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  5. 5 Whisk pale ale, stout, Worcestershire, hoisin, and brown sugar together in a bowl; set aside.
  6. 6 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Reduce heat to low, add shallot, and cook until it starts to caramelize, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the reserved minced garlic and the roasted garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  7. 7 Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and flour; stir it all up to make a roux and cook for 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium and slowly whisk in the beer mixture, letting it thicken each time before adding more. Once it is all incorporated, let gravy simmer and reduce for 10 minutes. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
  8. 8 Melt clarified butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add steaks and cook for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Crank heat up to medium-high and sear for a maximum of 1 minute per side. Remove steaks to a plate and tent with foil; let rest for 8 to 10 minutes.
  9. 9 Plate steaks and ladle gravy over top. Serve immediately.
