Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 bottle (14.9 oz) Guinness beer
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen peas (optional, for added color and texture)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Brown the Beef:
    • Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Brown the beef on all sides, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Sauté Vegetables:
    • In the same pot, add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Stir in the carrots, celery, and mushrooms (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Add Tomato Paste and Flour:
    • Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to caramelize slightly. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Deglaze the Pot:
    • Pour in the Guinness beer, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add Beef and Broth:
    • Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, thyme, and rosemary. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer the Stew:
    • Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.
  • Add Peas (Optional):
    • If using, add the frozen peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Season and Serve:
    • Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
