I've always used a dark beer (not always expensive) with beef.

Years ago someone taught me how to make "seaman's beef", which is nothing
more than well-browned beef, thickly sliced potatoes, and thickly sliced
onions, seasoned only with a clove of garlic, salt, pepper, and a beer. I
was told to always use dark beer. It has always been good.
