Guinness Beef Stew
This Irish beef stew is deep and rich with flavour and made with the Irish stout, Guinness. Serve it over a bed of colcannon or with a wedge of Irish soda bread to sop it up. This type of meat and potatoes meal is one I could get used to.

Ingredients
- 3-5 Tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds stew beef like chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 cups beef stock or beef broth
- 12 ounces Guinness
- 2 prunes minced
- 1 Tablespoon caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups carrots roughly chopped
- 1 1/2 cups parsnips roughly chopped
- 3 Tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley minced
Instructions
- In a stockpot or Dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Salt the beef and dredge through the flour. Brown the beef chunks in the oil for 2-3 minutes, stirring to turn. Don't overcrowd the pot, and remove from the pot into a separate bowl when finished. Add the remaining oil as necessary.
- Once the beef has been browned, add garlic to the oil and sauté for 30 seconds. Add in the onion and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste until incorporated throughout.
- Add the beef back to the pot and pour in the beef stock and Guinness, then add in the prunes, caraway seeds and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for one hour.
- After one hour, remove the cover from the pot and add in the carrots and parsnips. Continue simmering, uncovered for 30-45 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Notes
