Guinness Beef Stew Recipe
Irish Pub And Restaurant Favorite
Hearty Beef Stew Recipe
This Guinness Beef Stew Recipe is offered at the restaurant as an alternative to corned beef specials around Saint Pats Day. It is a favorite restaurant recipe with many restaurant guests.
This Irish beef stew recipe is also offered in the Fall as a hearty, comforting meal and it sells very well.
I am told that this Guinness Beef stew is an Irish pub favorite.
I can believe it since my American-style restaurant sells a lot of it when it is featured on the special sheet.
Cooking beef in stout is similar to cooking meat in wine. It tenderizes the beef. Cook the stew slowly and you'll have a malty, flavorful and tender stew to enjoy.

Cooking Conversion Table
Ingredients:
2 pounds beef chuck steak, boneless and well trimmed, cut into 1 inch cubes (you can substitute mutton if you prefer)
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 cup quartered mushrooms
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
Pinch of crushed thyme
Pinch (or two) of crushed cayenne
Pinch of black pepper
1 cup Guinness beer
1 cup beef stock
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 Bay leaf
2 cups chopped carrots
2 cups chopped potatoes
Chopped parsley for garnish
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Heat the oil in a wide skillet or saute pan that has a tight fitting cover until hot
Add the beef and brown well, stirring occasionally to brown all sides (turn the heat down if necessary so meat does not burn)
Brown meat in several small batches to avoid over-crowding the pan
Add the onion and garlic and continue to cook until onion is slightly browned
Combine the flour, thyme, black pepper and cayenne in a bowl and then add to the beef, stirring to make a roux
Continue to cook over medium-high heat until the roux is slightly browned (do NOT burn)
Stir in the Guinness and beef stock and bring to a boil, stirring until the sauce thickens and any lumps are cooked out
Add the carrots and potatoes, cover the skillet and place in a 325 degree F oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until the meat is tender
Correct seasoning, ladle to bowls and garnish with parsley and serve
Enjoy your Guinness Beef Stew Recipe and the company of those you share it with!
