This is an Irish beef stew made with Guinness®. This stew is very hearty and begs for a good sopping bread. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 bay leaves |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed |
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes |
2 yellow onions, quartered |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 (15 ounce) can irish stout beer (such as guinness®) |
1 cup beef stock |
2 large potatoes, cut into 1 1/2- inch cubes |
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and thickly sliced |
2 tablespoons chopped parsley |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
2. Heat olive oil and bay leaves in a 6-quart oven-proof pot over high heat. Place 1/4 cup flour in a shallow bowl, press beef cubes into flour, and sear beef in the hot oil until the meat has a browned crust, about 3 minutes per side. Cook and stir onions with beef until onions are translucent, 5 more minutes. Reduce heat to low.
3. Combine garlic, thyme, and rosemary leaves with 2 tablespoons flour in a small bowl; stir flour mixture into beef and onions until thoroughly combined. Pour beer and beef stock into mixture, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix potatoes, carrots, and parsley into beef and sauce; cover pot.
4. Braise stew in the preheated oven until potatoes are cooked through and beef is tender, about 3 hours; stir occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper.
