🥕 Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter

👨‍🍳 How to Make Guinness Beef Stew

Step 1: Brown the Beef

Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in flour. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

In the same pot, add onion and cook until soft (4–5 mins). Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute.

Step 3: Deglaze & Simmer

Pour in the Guinness, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, and the browned beef.

Step 4: Add Veggies & Cook

Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 2–2.5 hours, or until beef is tender. Add carrots, potatoes, and celery during the last 45 minutes of cooking.

Step 5: Serve & Garnish

Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
