Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 pounds beef chuck roast, cubed
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, chopped into ½” pieces
2 cups Guinness beer
5 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound baby potatoes, halved

Method

Trim any excess fat from the beef. In a large bowl or freezer bag, combine flour, salt, & pepper. Add the beef and toss to coat.
In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Shake off any excess flour from the beef and brown in small batches. Remove and set aside in a bowl.
Add the onions to the pot, adding more oil as needed, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Remove and add to the beef cubes.
Pour the Guinness into the pot while scraping up any brown bits in the pan with a spatula. Stir in broth, tomato paste, and the beef and onions.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer covered for 45 minutes.
Add in the potatoes. Simmer for an additional 45 minutes or until the beef and potatoes are tender.
Mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the boiling stew to reach desired consistency (you may not need all of the slurry).
