A hearty Irish stew made with beef, root vegetables, and rich Guinness stout, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 bottle (12 oz) Guinness stout
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Searing the beef: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides until they develop a tantalizing crust.
  2. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onions, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste, coating the vegetables well and allowing it to cook for a minute.
  4. Return the seared beef to the pot with the vegetables.
  5. Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, and that special bottle of Guinness stout.
  6. Season your concoction with thyme, a bay leaf, and sprinkle in some salt and pepper.
  7. Bring your pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover it, and let it simmer for about 120 minutes.
  8. Once the beef is tender, remove the bay leaf and check the seasoning. Adjust if necessary for a perfect balance of flavors.

Notes

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside crusty bread or buttery mashed potatoes.
