Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any day, this Guinness Beef Stew may look complicated but it’s super easy to make. I suggest prepping your vegetables before you even get started. Also, if you stew beef isn’t cut into bite sized chunks, I suggest using some kitchen shears to cut them before adding them to the pot.
Ok, all prepped? Now you are ready to get started! So, using a dutch oven or a large pot with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the minced garlic, stew beef and garlic powder. Cook until the beef is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Add in chopped carrots, potatoes and pearl onions and stir. Then sprinkle the flour and stir to coat. Pour in the Guinness and stir to loosen all the tasty bits on the bottom of the pan.
Now, add the beef broth, bay leaf, thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to boil and reduce to a low boil/simmer. Cover with the lid and cook for 2 hours.
In the last 15 minutes, add in the frozen sweet peas. Don’t worry they will cook really fast. I add them at the end because nothing is worse than mushy peas!
Serve with a crusty beard or this Cheddar and Bacon Irish Soda Bread.
Hope you enjoy!!
