Ingredients

  • 800g stewing beef, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 celery stick, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 330ml stout
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 500g potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Small handful parsley to finish

Method

Prepare the ingredients and trim any large visible pieces of fat from the beef.

Heat the oil in a heavy pan over a medium-high heat, then brown the beef in batches so it colours rather than steams.

Add the aromatics and spices, stirring until they smell fragrant.

Add the liquids and vegetables, then simmer gently until the beef is tender and the sauce has reduced to a good serving consistency.

Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve with the suggested side. Nutrition values are estimates for planning and will vary with exact ingredients and portion size.

Irish Beef and Stout Stew is a keeper for me. Clear method, good portion size, and enough character to make it feel like travel food.

I liked the balance in Irish Beef and Stout Stew. The beef stayed tender and the seasoning made the whole plate feel generous.

The Irish Beef and Stout Stew worked beautifully and gave a real sense of Ireland without feeling difficult for a home kitchen.
