Ingredients
- 1.5 pound sirloin steak cut into chunks
- ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoons cracked pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 carrots cut into ¼ inch coins
- 1 pound potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 12 ounces Guinness or other stout beer
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 cup pearl onions
- 1 cup peas
OPTIONAL - IF NEEDED
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Season the beef with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the meat, turning often to brown all sides.
- Remove to a plate, and set aside.
- Add the tomato paste to the skillet and whisk in the Guinness.
- Crank the heat up to high, and continue whisking to scrape up all the brown bits from the pan.
- Boil, and allow to reduce by about half.
- Whisk together the broth and flour until the flour is dissolved.
- Add the mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly until it comes to a boil.
- Add the prepared carrots, potatoes, and onions, return to a boil, and then lower the heat to medium, cover, and simmer vigorously for about 10 minutes. Vegetables should be almost tender.
- Return the browned beef and any juices to the pan.
- Season with salt and pepper, then add the peas.
- Simmer until the meat is cooked to medium, about 2-3 minutes.
OPTIONAL - IF NEEDED TO THICKEN
- Remove some of the liquid and make a slurry with the cornstarch, and whisk back into the stew until boiling and thickened.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, and serve.
- Devour.

Notes
- Because of the short cooking time, your usual stew meat that is tough – won’t be great in this
- Switch out the peas for green beans, or add frozen corn/peas instead
- Serve with a crusty bread, or make Irish Soda Bread for a true Irish Dinner!
