Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds beef chuck roast cut into 1.5-inch pieces
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 bottle Guinness stout 12 ounce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, toss the beef with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove beef from the pot and set aside.
- Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and tomato paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the Guinness stout and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
- Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot. Cover and continue to cook for another 30-45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
