Ingredients

2 pounds stewing beef
3 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne
2 large onions, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons tomato puree, dissolved in 4 tablespoons water
1 1/4 cups Guinness
2 cups largely diced carrots
Sprig of fresh thyme
Chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

Trim the meat of any fat or gristle, and cut into 2-inch cubes. Toss beef with 1 tablespoon of the oil. In a small bowl, season the flour with salt, pepper and cayenne. Toss meat with seasoned flour. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Brown the meat on all sides. Reduce the heat, add the onions, crushed garlic and tomato puree to the skillet, cover, and cook gently for 5 minutes. Transfer the contents of the skillet to a casserole and pour half of the Guinness into the skillet. Bring Guinness to a boil and stir to dissolve the caramelized meat juices on the pan. Pour over the meat, along with the remaining Guinness. Add the carrots and thyme. Stir and adjust seasonings. Cover the casserole and simmer over low heat, or in a 300 degree F oven until the meat is tender, 2 to 3 hours. Garnish the beef with parsley and serve.

Very good beef stew
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I took the advice of the suggestions in the reviews and added a bit of beef broth to the recipe. At first I added a half cup... but the Guinness after taste was still very strong so I then added another half cup to make it in total one full cup of beef broth and the flavor of the stew was more to my liking. I then added 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with some beef broth to the stew to thicken the sauce. I used onions, carrots, celery, and potatoes as my vegetables. Only required two hours of simmering in a 300 degree oven to finish. A very bold, delicious stew was a result.Read more

AWESOME Recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe last year for my husbands co-workers on Saint Patty's day!! It got RAVE reviews!! I took home an empty... cassarole. I actually added MORE beer and beef broth to make a little more gravy and then I thickened it w. some cornstarch and corrected the seasonings. I will DEFINATELY be making this again this year! Thanks Food TV!!Read more
