Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck roast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 whole yellow onion, chopped
• 3 whole carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Guinness beer
• 2 cups beef stock
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 2 sprigs thyme, fresh sprigs
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into 1-2 inch cubes. Season the beef generously with salt and black pepper, then toss it in the all-purpose flour to coat evenly.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the Guinness beer, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Let the beer simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Return the beef to the pot and add the beef stock, tomato paste, bay leaf, and thyme sprigs. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the stew to simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

After 2 hours, add the diced potatoes to the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 1 hour, or until the beef is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving. Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 9

Serve the Guinness Beef hot in bowls, garnished with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
