This Guinness beef stew recipe makes hearty comfort food. After cooking and enjoying the great flavors, it reminded me of stews I had in Dublin, Ireland.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 pinches salt and ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 2 pinches cayenne pepper

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 yellow onions, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

  • ¼ cup tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon water, or as needed

  • 3 cups Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®), divided

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 4 large potatoes, chopped

  • 2 cups chopped carrot

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Toss beef cubes with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a bowl.

  2. Whisk flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a separate bowl. Dredge beef cubes through flour mixture until evenly coated.

  3. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir coated beef cubes, working in batches, until beef is browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer browned beef to a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.

  4. Cook and stir onions and garlic in the same skillet used for browning beef until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.

  5. Stir tomato paste with enough water to partially dilute; pour into onion mixture. Stir to blend. Reduce heat to medium, cover Dutch oven, and simmer for 5 minutes.

  6. Pour half the Irish stout into the onion mixture, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Transfer entire mixture to the browned beef. Pour remaining half of Irish stout into beef mixture; add thyme.

  7. Cover Dutch oven, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 hours. Add potatoes and carrots and simmer, stirring every 20 minutes, until potatoes are soft, about 1 hour. Adjust salt as needed; garnish with parsley.
