1/2 tsp salt and pepper
1 onion (, chopped)
3 garlic (, minced (1 tbsp))
2 celery (, cut into 0.8 cm / 1/3" slices)
3 carrots (, cut into 0.5 cm / 1/5" thick slices (halve larger ones))
4 tbsp flour
2 1/2 cups (625ml) beef broth/stock (, low sodium)
1 1/2 cups (375ml) dry red wine, Guinness beer or stout ((Note 2))
1.5 cups (375ml) water
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 bay leaves
1 tsp thyme dried
1 cup frozen peas
2 potatoes ((any), cut into 1.5cm / 2/3" cubes)
1 tbsp (15g) butter or oil
200g/ 6oz small mushrooms (, quartered or halved)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil until very hot in a large, heavy based pot over high heat.
  • Pat beef dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Brown beef aggressively in 2 or 3 batches, adding more oil if needed. Remove browned beef into a bowl.
  • If pot looks dry, add a touch more oil.
  • Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add carrot and celery, cook for 2 minutes or until onion is translucent.
  • Stir in flour, then slowly pour in beef broth while constantly stirring.
  • Add beer, water, tomato paste, bay leaves and thyme, stir well. Then add the beef back in.
  • Cover, adjust heat to medium low so it's bubbling gently. Simmer 1 hr 15 min or until beef is pretty tender.
  • Add potatoes and peas, simmer for a further 20 minutes without the lid. Add cooked mushrooms in the last 5 minutes.
  • The soup is ready when the potatoes are cooked and beef is very tender (see video).
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste (I like lots of pepper in this!).
  • Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with crusty bread if desired. Try quick Cheesy Garlic Bread or super easy Irish Soda Bread!

  • Brown the beef before adding it to the soup: This step helps to develop flavor and color. You can brown the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes, but you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as green beans, peas, or corn.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth.
  • Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is finished cooking, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
