SLOW-COOKER STOUT BEEF STEW

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories main-dish

Time 6h45m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
One 12-ounce bottle stout beer, such as Guinness Draught
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
One 4-pound boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 cups chicken broth

Steps:

In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, parsley, stout, olive oil, brown sugar and tomato paste. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the salt and pepper. Dredge the beef pieces in the dry mixture, shaking off any excess.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter and canola oil over medium-high heat. In batches, add the beef pieces and sear until brown, about 2 minutes, transferring the beef to the slow cooker as done. Remove the last batch of beef to the slow cooker, add 1 cup of the chicken broth to the skillet and scrape up all the brown bits that have accumulated on the bottom of the pan. Add the pan juices to the slow cooker, along with the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth. Cover, and cook on high for 6 hours.

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF STEW WITH MAPLE AND STOUT

Pressure Cooker Beef Stew With Maple and Stout image

This savory-sweet stew is delightfully hands-off - no sautéing, searing or simmering. The key is the timing: Cook the beef first and add the vegetables later to ensure that the meat tenderizes while the vegetables retain some bite. Real maple syrup gives the dish a sweetness that pairs well with the mild bitterness of stout beer. Carrots, potatoes and parsnips are classic stew vegetables, but rutabaga or celery root work well, too. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the flavors of this cold-weather dish.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

3 pounds beef chuck roast, excess fat trimmed, meat cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 thyme sprigs
2 rosemary sprigs
1 cup beef broth (or 1 1/4 cups if using an 8-quart pot)
3/4 cup stout beer (or 1 cup if using an 8-quart pot)
1/4 cup real maple syrup, preferably dark
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, preferably aged
3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste

Steps:

Add the beef to a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker, season it generously with salt and pepper and toss it with the flour until evenly coated. Add the herb sprigs, the broth, beer, syrup, garlic, red-pepper flakes, onion and garlic powders and 1 tablespoon vinegar; stir to combine. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out with the steam, close the knob and wait a few more minutes, then release again.) Stir in the carrots, parsnips and potatoes; season with salt and pepper. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 18 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. (If hot liquid spurts out with the steam, close the knob and wait a few more minutes, then release again.) Remove and discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season to taste with more salt and pepper, as needed. Add the lemon juice. If the vegetables are not tender, or if the broth is not as thick as you would like, using the sauté setting, simmer for a few minutes. (You can also stir to encourage the potatoes to fall apart a little, which will help thicken the broth.) Divide among shallow bowls.

SLOW-COOKER IRISH STOUT BEEF STEW

Slow-Cooker Irish Stout Beef Stew image

During the colder months, we can't get enough soup, stew and chili, but truth be told-sometimes we need a break from our old favorites. That's why this recipe is such a welcome addition. It makes for a hearty bowl with fall-apart-tender chunks of beef in a luscious, rich broth, but that's not all that's going on here. Caramelized onions add a sweetness that's well balanced by the slightly bitter (think coffee-flavored) taste of the Guinness®. The preparation of the beef-it's dredged in flour and browned before being added to the slow cooker crock-helps thicken the stew and adds all sorts of deeply savory flavor. So when you want something comforting and crowd-friendly-but also feel like you've been eating the same thing for months-turn to this sensational stew for something new.

Categories main-dish

Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound small white potatoes, halved
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, halved
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

IRISH STOUT BEEF STEW

Irish Stout Beef Stew image

This is a twist on an Irish stew recipe. I added some additional seasonings as the other recipes I've tried ended up being too bland. Serve with Irish soda bread.

Provided by jdave1084

Time 6h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

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.
Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
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.
Cook on High until meat is tender and potatoes are soft, about 6 hours.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for beef stew, as they have a lot of flavor and connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender.
Brown the beef before cooking. This step is essential for developing flavor in the stew. Simply heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the beef in batches, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Use a good quality stout. The stout will add depth of flavor to the stew, so choose one that you enjoy drinking. A dark, robust stout is a good option.
Add vegetables and herbs to the pot. Common vegetables used in beef stew include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves for extra flavor.
Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours. This will give the meat time to become tender and the flavors to develop. You can simmer the stew for longer if you have time, but 2 hours is the minimum.
Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice. Beef stew is a hearty and delicious meal that can be served with a variety of sides.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker beef stew with maple and stout is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day.
