Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.9 oz) can Guinness stout
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. 1. In a large bowl, toss beef cubes with flour, salt, and pepper until coated.
2. 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. 3. Reduce heat to medium. Add onions, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
4. 4. Pour in Guinness, scraping up browned bits. Add broth, tomato paste, thyme, bay leaves, and browned beef. Bring to a boil.
5. 5. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, until beef is tender. Stir occasionally.
6. 6. Remove bay leaves. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Tips

• For extra richness, add 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce with the broth.
• Stew tastes even better the next day; refrigerate overnight and reheat gently.
• Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
