Beef stew gets a touch of the Irish when it is slowly simmered in Guinness in this easy and delicious recipe!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1 inch chunks
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 sweet onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 1/4 cups Guinness Draught Stout
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  • 1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces (or baby potatoes)
  • 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces (or you can use baby carrots)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325.
  2. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium high heat and add onions. Stir until they are starting to get tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add tomato paste and stir until well-combined. Stir in flour, and then whisk in broth, 3/4 cup Guinness, sugar and thyme. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  4. Season beef with salt and pepper.  Add beef and stir. Transfer the pot to the oven and cook uncovered for 90 minutes.
  5. Add potatoes and carrots to the pot, stir and continue cooking until the meat and veggies are tender, another 60 minutes.
  6. Add remaining Guinness, stir and add salt and pepper as needed. Serve on warmed plates, garnished with parsley.

Notes

    • Beef Chuck: You can either buy a chuck roast and cut it up into chunks, or you can buy it pre-cut (sometimes packaged as stew meat). One way or the other, this is the cut of beef you want for this recipe.

    • Guinness: This is the best beer to use for this recipe, but you can swap in a different dark beer if you like.

    • Potatoes: You can either use baby potatoes (halved if they are more teenagers than babies 😊) or regular potatoes cut into bite-sized chunks.
