Irish Beef Stew with Guinness Stout Recipe
This Irish beef stew recipe uses Guinness stout to build a deep, savory broth, thickened lightly with flour and rounded out with onion, garlic, carrot, and parsley. You’ll sear the beef first, then let it simmer low and slow until tender. Ingredients (malzemeleri) and how to make it (nasıl yapılır) are below.
Ingredients
For the stew
Step-by-Step Method
Dry and sear the beef
Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Heat a pot, add olive oil, and sear the meat in batches so it browns instead of steaming. Transfer to a plate.
Soften the aromatics
In the same pot, add the onion and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring until it softens. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add flour and herbs
Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute to cook it out and help thicken the stew. Mix in thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
Simmer gently
Return the beef to the pot. Add just enough water or stock to barely cover (start with up to 1/2 cup and adjust as it cooks). Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 90 minutes.
Cook the carrots until tender
Add the sliced carrot and simmer for another 25–30 minutes. If the stew gets too thick, splash in a bit more water or stock.
Finish and serve
Remove bay leaves. Stir in parsley and let the stew rest for 1–2 minutes. Serve hot with bread or mashed potatoes.
