Step 1
Prepare all ingredients. Besides pork, you can use beef, lamb, chicken, or turkey. Note that cooking time and calories will vary. Use any beer you like: dark or light. Dark beer makes a richer, darker sauce.

Peel and slice onions into half-rings.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Add pork and fry, stirring, 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

Pour in beer and simmer over low heat 40-50 minutes until pork is tender. At the end, pour sauce into a bowl.
Step 6
Reduce heat to medium. Add sliced onions to the skillet with the pork.
