Beef a la Flamande, one of our favorite braised beef dishes would work well
this way. Brown the beef chuck on the grill. I'm going to grill it on the
long slow slide. The beef, dark beer, caramelized onions, seasonings, and a
bit of roux all goes into the braise pan onto the grill, Braise indirectly
for about 2 hours, more or less depending on how long you grilled it
initially. Here's a recipe for the non barbecued version of this great
Belgian dish.

required you have the same dark beer with the dish. The chef, of course, has
one during the last hour of cooking.

BTW, I buy those disposable 2" high 8X6" aluminum pans in bulk from "Smart
and Final, or a similar place. The 2" height is just about right for enough
meat and sauce to serve 4 diners.
