Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 bottle Guinness beer 11.2 oz
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 medium carrots sliced
  • 4 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour optional, for thickening
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker.
  • In the same skillet, add onions and garlic; sauté until soft, then add to the slow cooker.
  • Add beef broth, Guinness, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, carrots, potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until beef and vegetables are tender.
  • If desired, whisk flour with 1/4 cup of cold water and stir into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking for a thicker sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can sear the beef in small batches to ensure even browning. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
