Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil in a large stockpot. Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Coat meat with flour, then brown in 2 batches, adding additional oil if needed.
  2. Remove meat then stir in onions and garlic. Sautee until just beginning to brown.
  3. Stir in beer (or 12 ounces of broth). Carefully scrape up browned bits from pan and mix into liquid.
  4. Stir in remaining ingredients. Simmer 1-2 hours until everything is tender. Remove any obvious thyme stems, then serve.
