Hey everyone! I am so excited to share with you the recipe for the Irish Beef and Guinness Stew! It's a classic dish packed with tender beef, flavorful veggies, and a rich Guinness stout broth. Perfect for cozy nights in or celebrating St. Patrick's Day in style.
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs stewing beef, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 can (14.9 oz) Guinness stout
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- Season the stewing beef with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and brown on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onions, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Pour in the Guinness stout and beef broth, stirring to deglaze the bottom of the pot and loosen any browned bits. Return the browned beef to the pot.
- Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, add the diced potatoes to the stew. Continue to simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
- Serve the Irish Beef and Guinness Stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy this comforting Irish classic with some crusty bread or mashed potatoes on the side!
