Irish · Main course · 140 min total

A hearty and comforting Irish casserole with tender beef, potatoes, and vegetables in a rich gravy, perfect for a cozy family dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup Irish stout beer (e.g., Guinness)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, toss beef cubes with flour, salt, and pepper until coated.
2. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in stout and broth, scraping up any browned bits.
5. Return beef to pot. Add thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
6. Add potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cover and simmer for another 45-60 minutes, until beef and vegetables are tender.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Discard bay leaves. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Tips

• For a thicker gravy, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot and stir.
• This casserole tastes even better the next day; refrigerate overnight and reheat gently.
• Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for extra comfort.
