BEEF AND GUINNESS® STEW



Beef and Guinness® Stew image

The maltiness of dark beer really does amazing things for this gravy. It's a very simple dish, but at the same time it has a deep, complex, rich flavor. I served this in a nice ring of green onion-mashed potatoes. I hope you give this a try, whether for St. Patrick's Day or anytime of the year.

Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
2 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 onions, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.9 ounce) can dark beer (such as Guinness®)
¼ cup tomato paste
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2 ½ cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
4 cups mashed potatoes

Steps:

  • Cook and stir bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until bacon is browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat and transfer bacon into a large stew pot, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Season beef chuck cubes generously with 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Turn heat to high under skillet and sear beef pieces in the hot fat on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes. Place beef in stew pot with bacon, leaving fat in skillet. Turn heat down to medium; cook and stir onions in the retained fat in the skillet until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes; season with a large pinch of salt.
  • Cook garlic with onions until soft, about 1 minute; pour beer into skillet and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up and dissolving any browned bits of food into the liquid. Pour cooking liquid from skillet into the stew pot. Stir in tomato paste, thyme sprigs, carrots, celery, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and enough chicken broth to cover.
  • Bring stew to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine; reduce heat to low and cover pot. Simmer stew until beef is fork-tender, about 2 hours. Stir stew occasionally and skim fat or foam if desired.
  • Remove cover and raise heat to medium-high. Bring stew to a low boil and cook until stew has slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange mashed potatoes in a ring in a serving bowl; ladle stew into the center of the potatoes.

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1kg boneless beef shin, cut into 3cm chunks
200g pearl onions or small shallots

3 celery sticks, cut into bite-sized chunks
3 tbsp plain flour

½ tbsp oil
1 tsp thyme leaves
125g self-raising flour
60g beef suet
1 egg yolk
small pack parsley, leaves picked and finely chopped

Steps:

  • First, make the dumplings. Gently fry the bacon until crisp in a large lidded casserole dish. Stir in the thyme leaves, then tip into a bowl and leave to cool slightly. Add the flour and suet to the bacon, and stir everything together. Make a well in the middle, then add the egg yolk, parsley, ½ tsp pepper and 2 tbsp very cold water, and start to mix into a dough. Keep adding water until you a have a firm but pliable dough. Divide the mixture into eight balls and chill until needed.
  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Quickly clean the casserole dish with some kitchen paper, then heat the oil. Brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Tip in the onions or shallots, carrots and celery, brown well, then stir in the flour. Add the meat and any juices back into the dish, give everything a good stir, then pour in the stock and Guinness. Season, then tuck in the thyme and star anise and bring everything to a simmer. Cover with a lid, then cook in the oven for about 2 hrs until the meat is tender.
  • Remove the stew from the oven and arrange the dumplings evenly on top. Put the lid back on and return to the oven for 20 mins, then cook for a final 10 mins with the lid off to brown the dumplings. Bring the dish to the table in all its glory. Spoon into bowls with cabbage and mash, to serve.

HUEY'S BEEF IN GUINNESS



Huey's Beef in Guinness image

A recipe from Australian chef Iain Hewitson's book 'Tales and Recipes from a Traveling Cook', which I've adapted and posted for the Zaar World Tour 2005. Huey has published several books and his popular TV cooking show appears twice daily. Of this recipe, Huey says "Try this with different styles of beer - each will impart a different flavour. And, remember, stews and braises are even better when reheated the following day".

GUINNESS BEEF



Guinness Beef image

This is a modified recipe from one that a friend gave me. This is perfect if you love stew, and the beer is in no way overpowering. It makes the beef nice and tender, in fact you can cut the beef with your spoon. I prefer the potatoes unpeeled, and for carrots I've used baby carrots instead of 3 regular carrots sliced, which works good too. Enjoy with a nice glass of Guinness. I suggest not substituting the Guinness for another beer in this recipe, I've tried it with Blue Moon and it does not work. And use regular Guinness from the bottle, or tap if you're lucky, not Extra Stout or from the can.

BEEF IN GUINNESS



Beef in Guinness image

This is from a cookbook called 1000 Great Recipes. This would be a wonderful dish to serve for St. Patrick's Day, maybe with some mashed potatoes and steamed cabbage.

Categories     Roast Beef

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs chuck steaks, cut in 1 1/2 inch cubes

1 tablespoon orange zest

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan, then cook the beef in batches until lightly browned. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan, then cook the onions until well browned, adding the celery and carrots towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Stir in the sugar, mustard, tomato puree, orange zest, Guinness and seasoning.
  • Bring to a boil. Return the meat, and any juices in the bowl to the pan; add water, if necessary, so that the meat is covered.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your beef in Guinness will taste. Look for grass-fed, organic beef and a good quality Guinness stout.
  • Brown the beef well: Browning the beef gives it a rich, caramelized flavor. Be sure to brown the beef in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam.
  • Don't boil the Guinness: When you add the Guinness to the pot, bring it to a simmer but do not boil it. Boiling the Guinness will drive off the alcohol and ruin the flavor.
  • Let the stew simmer for at least 2 hours: The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the beef will become and the more flavorful the sauce will be.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or crusty bread: Beef in Guinness is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or crusty bread. These sides help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Beef in Guinness is a classic Irish stew that is perfect for a cold winter night. It is a hearty, flavorful stew that is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beef in Guinness that will impress your friends and family.
