Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 0.75 cup dark beer (e.g., stout or amber ale)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.
Pour in the dark beer, and stir in the lime juice, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the sauce with an immersion blender or in a blender.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve warm over your favorite dishes such as tacos, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or enchiladas.
