Guinness Beef Stew Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper, then sear them in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent. Add diced carrots and potatoes, cooking for about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Liquids and Seasoning

   Stir in the tomato paste, then add the Guinness stout and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze.

4. 4

   Combine and Simmer

   Return the beef to the pot, add bay leaves and thyme. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

5. 5

   Serve with Mashed Potatoes

   Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot over a bed of mashed potatoes.
