Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound beef stew meat cut into chunks
  • 1 can 12 oz Guinness stout
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 2 potatoes diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and brown on all sides to develop flavor.
  2. Remove the meat and add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the can of Guinness and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Add the beef broth and tomato paste, stirring until combined.
  5. Return the browned beef to the pot along with the sliced carrots and diced potatoes.
  6. Add dried thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for about 1 hour.
  7. Check the meat for tenderness after an hour. If it's not tender enough, let it simmer a bit longer.
  8. Once the stew is ready, serve it hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Let the stew rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
