Equipment
Method
- 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.
- Remove the meat and add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the can of Guinness and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the beef broth and tomato paste, stirring until combined.
- Return the browned beef to the pot along with the sliced carrots and diced potatoes.
- Add dried thyme, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for about 1 hour.
- Check the meat for tenderness after an hour. If it's not tender enough, let it simmer a bit longer.
- 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.
