Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds  Brussels sprouts
  • 6 ounces thick-cut bacon, (chopped)
  • 1 shallot, (peeled and sliced)
  • 12 ounce bottle beer, (something light and crisp)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Pinch crushed red pepper

Instruction

  • Trim the ends of each Brussels sprout, removing excess leaves. Cut the sprouts in half, leaving the smallest sprouts whole.
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and saute until crisp.
  • Add the sliced shallot. Saute another 2-3 minutes to soften. Then add the Brussels sprouts. Stir and sear the sides of the sprouts for 4-5 minutes.
  • Pour the bottle of beer into the skillet. Add the salt and both peppers. Bring to a simmer and lower the heat a little. Stir and simmer until the beer has reduced to a glaze and the sprouts are cooked through—12-15 minutes.
