    List of Ingredients




    Beef and Irish Stout Stew



    2 pounds lean beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
    3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
    1 pinch cayenne pepper
    2 large onions, chopped
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    2 tablespoons tomato paste
    1 1/2 cups Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
    2 cups chopped carrot
    1 sprig fresh thyme
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for
    garnish

    Recipe




    Toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.

    In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.

    Dredge the beef in this to coat.

    Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

    Add the beef, and brown on all sides.

    Add the onions, and garlic. Stir the tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend.

    Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.

    Pour 1/2 cup of the beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

    This adds a lot of flavor to the broth.

    Pour in the rest of the beer, and add the carrots and thyme.

    Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

    Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

    Garnish with chopped parsley.
