Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tbsp olive oil
2.5 lb / 1.25 kg beef chuck (, boneless short rib or any other slow cooking beef (no bone))
3/4 tsp each salt and black pepper
3 garlic cloves (, minced)
2 onions (, chopped (brown, white or yellow))
6 oz / 180g bacon (, speck or pancetta, diced)
3 tbsp flour ((all purpose/plain, Note 3 for GF))
440ml / 14.9 oz Guinness Beer ((Note 1))
4 tbsp tomato paste
3 cups (750 ml) chicken stock/broth ((or beef broth - Note 4))
3 carrots (, peeled and cut into 1.25 cm / 1/2" thick pieces)
2 large celery stalks (, cut into 2cm / 1" pieces)
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs thyme ((or sub with 1 tsp dried thyme leaves))

Steps:

  • Cut the beef into 5cm/2" chunks. Pat dry then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a heavy based pot over high heat. Add beef in batches and brown well all over. Remove onto plate. Repeat with remaining beef.
  • Lower heat to medium. If the pot is looking dry, add oil.
  • Cook garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softening, then add bacon.
  • Cook until bacon is browned, then stir through carrot and celery.
  • Add flour, and stir for 1 minute to cook off the flour.
  • Add Guinness, chicken broth/stock and tomato paste. Mix well (to ensure flour dissolves well), add bay leaves and thyme.
  • Return beef into the pot (including any juices). Liquid level should just cover - see video or photos.
  • Cover, lower heat so it is bubbling gently. Cook for 2 hours - the beef should be pretty tender by now. Remove lid then simmer for a further 30 - 45 minutes or until the beef falls apart at a touch, the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
  • Skim off fat on surface, if desired. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves and thyme.
  • Serve with creamy mashed potatoes!!
