Beef and vegetable stew with Guinness stout - a comforting and perfect meal for any cold day or St. Patrick's Day.
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds (900 g) well marbled chuck beef roast, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large onion)
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 pint (16 ounces, 475 ml) Guinness extra stout (make sure you use extra stout and not draught)
  • 3 cups (700 ml) beef broth
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 to 4 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 pound (280 g) celery root, potatoes, or very young turnips, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 4 tablespoonchopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions:
  • Heat butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches with fat side down, allowing beef fat to render out. Sprinkle with salt as it browns. Transfer browned beef to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
  • After browning the beef, caramelize the onions and celery in the same pan until golden, then stir in tomato paste and Guinness to deglaze. Transfer the flavorful mixture to the slow cooker.
  • Pour in the remaining Guinness, savory beef broth, a colorful array of sweet carrots, earthy parsnips, and aromatic celery root into the slow cooker along with fragrant thyme. Sprinkle in two teaspoons of salt to enhance the flavors.
  • Slow cook covered on "high" for 4 hours or "low" for 8 hours. Adjust salt to taste and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Share your feedback with us by rating and commenting below!
