Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle Guinness stout
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Toss beef cubes with flour, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches, then remove to a plate.
  4. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in garlic and tomato paste; cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Pour in Guinness and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  7. Return beef to the pot. Add thyme and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.
  8. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours.
  9. Add potatoes to the pot. Cover and bake for another 45-60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  10. Stir in frozen peas during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  11. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, you can remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of baking.
  • Feel free to add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips.
