Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Beef and Guinness Irish Stew.
Step 1
Start by tossing your beef cubes in a bowl with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, ensuring they’re nicely coated.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick.
Step 3
Dredge the beef in this flavorful flour mixture until each piece is well covered.
Step 4
Next, heat the remaining two tablespoons of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, add the coated beef and let it brown on all sides, creating a delicious crust that will enhance the flavor of your dish.
Step 6
After the beef is beautifully browned, introduce chopped onions and crushed garlic to the pan, stirring them in to release their aromatic goodness.
Step 7
Mix in some tomato paste that you’ve diluted with a splash of water, then pour this mixture into the pan and give it a good stir to combine everything.
Step 8
Cover the pot and let it cook for about five minutes on medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to add half a cup of Guinness beer.
Step 10
Pour it in and let it come to a gentle boil, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any tasty bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Step 11
This is where the magic happens! Once that’s done, add the rest of the beer along with chopped carrots and fresh thyme.
Step 12
Cover the pot again, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for two to three hours.
Step 13
This slow cooking will make the beef incredibly tender and infuse the dish with rich flavors.
Step 14
Remember to stir occasionally and taste along the way, adjusting the seasoning to your liking.
Step 15
When you’re ready to serve, garnish your hearty stew with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Step 16
Enjoy the warmth and comfort of this delightful dish, perfect for sharing with loved ones!.
