Recipe
In a Dutch oven or range top casserole, heat olive oil over medium heat. Working in
batches, add beef and brown on all sides. As beef browns, remove to a large plate.
Add onion, celery, red pepper and water to the Dutch oven or casserole dish and stir to
scrape brown bits from the bottom. Cover and cook over low heat 10 minutes or until
onion is softened. Return beef to the pot. Add carrots, sugar, thyme, salt if desired,
pepper, beer and beef broth or stock. Cover and bring to a simmer. Adjust heat and
simmer, covered, 1&1/2 hours or until beef is tender. Add potatoes; press down to cover
with liquid. Simmer 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with green
onions before serving. Makes 8 servings, about 1&1/2 cups each.
