I've done red wine reductions before but now looking to incorporate some brew into a pan sauce for a steak. Would most likely use a dark ale, probably a stout. Also would want mushrooms as well. I'm thinking using the cast iron method for cooking the steak, then just sauteing the shrooms in the drippings and reducing the stout to make a sauce.

This method the best way to go about?

Maybe a bourbon barrel aged stout?

Good idea. Shallot and shrooms.

I would deglaze the pan after steaks were cooked, add shrooms and a porter or stout and beef broth. Let it reduce until desired thickness. Also shallots as someone mentioned

Try some fresh herbs, just a little for some more flavor. Maybe marjorum or oregano. Perhaps a bay leaf

Is the broth necessary?

Not necessary, but I use it because it gives it good flavor and color. Unless you have a demi glace to reduce with, I would reduce with beef broth.
