Beer Steamed Mussels Recipe
Serves: 4-5 people | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 onion, finely diced
2 1/2 lbs – 3 lbs mussels, bearded and scrubbed
12 fluid oz beer
A bunch Italian (flat-leaf) parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
Salt, to taste
Lemon or lime wedges
Method:
Rinse the bearded and scrubbed mussels thoroughly. Drain the water dry.
Heat up a deep skillet or a pot with the melted butter/olive oil on medium heat. Saute the garlic and onion until you start smelling the aroma, but not browned. Add the mussels into the skillet/pot and stir to combine with the garlic and onion. Pour in the beer and cover the skillet and pot, for a few minutes, or until the mussels are open and cooked. Stir in the chopped parsley and add salt to taste. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon or lime, if you like.
Cook’s Note:
The beer broth with the briny and sweet flavor of mussels is absolutely delicious. “Drink” the juice or sop up with garlic bread.

I love seafood, especially shellfish, and I love your recipes on sotong curry, clam in miso soup and now this one. ;)
Thanks for the recipe! I think beer is so underused in cooking…
I can’t agree more.
Will do the same with prawns. Guess it’ll turn out just as weel :)
I am not too sure about prawn using this recipe, but clams will be equally good.
Need to try this soon! Yum!
Thanks Bee! I will definitely give it a try soon.
I love eating mussels – just don’t like cleaning them! Mussels and beer – great combination!
