Ingredients
Beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 lbs boneless chuck roast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
Stew
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 3 large carrots, peeled, chopped into 2-inch pieces
- 1 lb baby Yukon potatoes with skin on (cut in half)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- 12 oz bottle Guinness beer
- 1 can tomato paste (6 oz)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp kosher salt (more to taste if needed)
- 1 tsp pepper (more to taste if needed)
- Fresh parsley 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!
