This stew is great for St. Patrick's Day. The mixture of the beef and Guinness is awesome! I usually add more beer than the recipe calls for. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Time 3h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds lean beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 large onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 ½ cups Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
2 cups chopped carrot
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Dredge the beef in this to coat.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and brown on all sides. Add the onions, and garlic. Stir the tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of the beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds a lot of flavor to the broth. Pour in the rest of the beer, and add the carrots and thyme. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Time 6h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 large potatoes, cut into large chunks
1 medium white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 (14.5 ounce) cans green beans, drained
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (1.5 ounce) package dry beef stew seasoning mix
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
½ teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ (15 ounce) can Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®), or more if needed
1 cup water, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place potatoes, onion, garlic, green beans, and tomato paste in a slow cooker. Sprinkle with stew seasoning and pour beef broth over top. Mix in stew seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.

  • Place flour on a plate and add seasoned salt. Coat stew meat in the flour mixture then brown in the hot skillet, 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Add browned meat directly to the slow cooker.
  • Add stout beer to the slow cooker and water, if necessary, to bring the liquid even with the ingredients so nothing dries out.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good choices for beef stew, as they have a lot of flavor and will become tender when cooked slowly.
  • Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help to develop the flavor of the beef and give the stew a richer color.
  • Use a good quality stout. The stout will add a lot of flavor to the stew, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a stout that is dark and creamy, with a rich flavor.
  • Add vegetables to the stew. Vegetables will add flavor, color, and nutrients to the stew. Common vegetables used in beef stew include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Season the stew well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good basic seasonings for beef stew. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Cook the stew slowly. Beef stew is a slow-cooked dish, so it's important to be patient. The longer the stew cooks, the more tender the beef will become and the more flavorful the broth will be.

Conclusion:

Irish stout beef stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful meal, give Irish stout beef stew a try!
