Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds Beef chuck
1 can or bottle Guinness beer
3 medium Carrots, sliced
2 large Potatoes, diced
1 large Onion, diced
4 cloves Garlic, minced
4 cups Beef broth
2 teaspoons Fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried)
2 Bay leaves
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with salt and pepper. In batches, brown the beef on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add onions and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Add carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 3 minutes.
Add the liquid: Pour in the Guinness beer, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves.
Combine everything: Return the browned beef to the pot, stirring to combine all ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is fork-tender. Stir occasionally, and add more broth if needed.
Adjust seasoning: Before serving, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve: Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread on the side for dipping.
