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
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer covered for 45 minutes.
  6. Add in the potatoes. Simmer for an additional 45 minutes or until the beef and potatoes are tender.
  7. 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).

Notes

- For a deeper flavor, allow the stew to chill overnight and reheat before serving.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving for the best flavor.
- Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a delightful pairing.
