Irish Guinness Beef Stew- chunks of beef are simmered in a rich tomato stout broth with lots of herbs and veggies. Wonderfully cozy comfort food for a winter meal or St Patrick’s Day. Irish Guinness Beef Stew Recipe with A Twist Typically Irish Guiness Beef Stew is full of potatoes and veggies. I have added veggies‚ but instead of adding potatoes‚ I chose to serve it ladled over mashed potatoes. So good. I absolutely love this version. Who can resist a creamy mound of mashed potatoes? Ingredient Notes Beef– I use chuck roast for beef stew. It is typically pretty well priced for beef and gets super tender and flavorful when slow simmered. Sirloin would also work. Veggies– I add celery‚ carrots and onion. Seasonings– onion‚ garlic‚ Worcestershire sauce‚ tomato paste‚ and fresh thyme add lots of flavor. Beer– I use an 11.2-ounce bottle of Guinness for this recipe. Bacon– Not all Irish Guinness Beef Stews contain bacon‚ but it really adds more flavor and some smokiness. Recipe Tips For additional flavor‚ add mushrooms or peas. Lamb can be used in place of beef. Can be served over Colcannon‚ an Irish dish that consists of mashed potatoes with cabbage or kale mixed in. Add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes to spice it up some. Check for seasoning at the end and add salt and pepper to taste. Equipment Needed You will need a good quality Dutch oven to make this stew. You want one with a heavy bottom. The stew will simmer for 2 hours and you don’t want the bottom to burn. Remember to stir it every 20 to 30 minutes so the bottom doesn’t burn and it cooks evenly. How To Store Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator or they can be frozen for up to 2 months.
