Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 4 lices thick-cut bacon diced
- 3 pounds boneless chuck roast cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 large onions sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 ½ cups Guinness beer
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 ½ cups beef broth
- 2 prigs thyme
- 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- In a large Dutch Oven or pot, over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the bacon and cook until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve.
- Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Working in batches so not to overcrowd the pot, brown the beef pieces on all sides, about 1-2 min per side. Remove and reserve with the bacon.
- Turn the heat down to medium. If necessary, add a little more oil. Stir in the onions and sauté until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour and tomato paste, mixing until well combined. Cook for a minute or two, until the paste turns a dark red color. Then, pour in the beer, using a wooden spoon to scrape all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the beef broth, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the beef and bacon back into the pot, plus the thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour.
- Add the carrots and potatoes. Cover and continue cooking until the beef is falling-apart tender and the veggies are cooked, about 1 more hour.
- If, by this point, the stew is not thickened to the desired consistency, raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Let it cook, uncovered, until thickened. You can also add a slurry of equal parts flour and cold liquid (water, beer or broth) to thicken even further.
- Discard the thyme sprigs and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper if necessary.
- Stir in the chopped parsley and serve!
