Beef and Guinness Stew Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Beef Recipes. (Beef and Guinness Stew Recipe). The maltiness of dark beer really does amazing things for this gravy. It's a very simple dish, but at the same time it has a deep, complex, rich flavor. I served this in a nice ring of green onion-mashed potatoes. I hope you give this a try, whether for St. Patrick's Day or anytime of the year.

Directions

Step 1

Cook and stir bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until bacon is browned and crisp 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat and transfer bacon into a large stew pot reserving bacon fat in the skillet.

Step 2

Season beef chuck cubes generously with 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Turn heat to high under skillet and sear beef pieces in the hot fat on both sides until browned about 5 minutes. Place beef in stew pot with bacon leaving fat in skillet. Turn heat down to medium; cook and stir onions in the retained fat in the skillet until lightly browned 5 to 8 minutes; season with a large pinch of salt.

Step 3

Cook garlic with onions until soft about 1 minute; pour beer into skillet and stir with a wooden spoon scraping up and dissolving any browned bits of food into the liquid. Pour cooking liquid from skillet into the stew pot. Stir in tomato paste thyme sprigs carrots celery sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and enough chicken broth to cover.

Step 4

Bring stew to a gentle simmer stirring to combine; reduce heat to low and cover pot. Simmer stew until beef is fork-tender about 2 hours. Stir stew occasionally and skim fat or foam if desired.

Step 5

Remove cover and raise heat to medium-high. Bring stew to a low boil and cook until stew has slightly thickened 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Arrange mashed potatoes in a ring in a serving bowl; ladle stew into the center of the potatoes.
