Guinness Beef Stew
Description
The Guinness Beef Stew recipe starts with well-seasoned chuck roast pieces that are seared to develop a golden crust, adding depth of flavor. The base is a sauté of onions and garlic combined with flour to form a thickening paste. Adding Guinness beer deglazes the pan, lifting flavor from the bottom.
The stew incorporates beef broth, carrots, potatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning, creating a robust and savory liquid. Simmering for about 1.5 hours gently softens the meat and vegetables while melding flavors together. Bay leaves add subtle aromatic notes to the rich stew.
This dish is hearty and filling, ideal for cooler days, and can be served on its own or alongside bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 lbs chuck roast boneless, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper cracked
Stew
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 3 large carrot peeled, chopped into 2-inch pieces
- 1 lb potato baby Yukon, skin on, cut in half
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- 12 oz beer Guinness, bottle
- 1 can tomato paste 6 oz
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning dried
- 2 bay leaf
- 1 tsp kosher salt more to taste if needed
- 1 tsp pepper more to taste if needed
- parsley fresh, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the beef by cutting it into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Generously salt and pepper the beef
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stock pot over medium high heat. Add the beef to the pot and sear on each side for about 3 minutes. There is no need to cook it through, just give it a nice golden sear. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent and golden. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, until a paste forms. If the paste is too dry, you can drizzle in more olive oil if needed.
- Pour in the Guinness and use a whisk to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the beef stock, carrots, potatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves.
- Add in the cooked beef, cover the pot, and simmer on low for 1 1/2 hours. Occasionally stir the stew, and cook until the beef is tender and the potatoes and carrots are soft.
- Discard the bay leaves. Season with salt, pepper, and more Italian seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crusty artisan bread!
