Guinness Beef Stew

Ingredients

Before you get started, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup Guinness stout
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process:

  1. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches, browning it on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Return the beef to the pot, along with the carrots and celery. Stir to combine.
  4. Add the beef broth, Guinness, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
  5. About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and cook until heated through.
  6. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy this delightful stew with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes!
