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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and chopped jalapeño. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 9

Serve warm over your favorite dishes such as tacos, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or enchiladas.
