Guiness Stew

I was looking for this recipe on here and found it wasn't posted. Shame on us.

Guinness Beef Stew

3 pounds Stew Meat
5 Cups Beef Broth or stock
1 Can Guinness Beer
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 Large Onion
about 5 russet potatoes
or you can use red potatoes
1 pound of carrots (I use the baby carrots and throw in however many I think look good,
you can chop them up a bit if you want. or just cut up some whole carrots into 1/4" slices)
6 Tblsp flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a 7-8 quart kettle combine 5 cups of stock, beer and meat.
Add salt and pepper and simmer covered for 1 hour.
Peel and quarter the potatoes( I cut them in about 1/2" chunks), Chop the onion and carrots.
Add vegetables to stew and simmer covered for another hour.
In a small bowl whisk together the flour and oil until smooth.
Stir flour oil mixture into stew until well mixed.
Simmer uncovered until thickened, about 3-5 minutes
Adjust seasonings and serve.



This goes great with home made bread. I got this recipe from Erin Smith.
