Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and dice the potatoes, slice the carrots, chop the celery and onions, and cut the beef into bite-sized cubes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Brown the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef cubes on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the chopped onions, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  3. 4

    Combine All Ingredients

    In a slow cooker, add the browned beef, sautéed vegetables, diced potatoes, sliced carrots, brown ale, beef broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.

  4. 5

    Cook the Stew

    Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

  5. 6

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
