Best Crock Pot Guinness Beef Stew Recipes
GUINNESS BEEF STEW IN A CROCK POT
With my Irish father in town, I wanted a ready-made meal after a long day of sight-seeing. I chose a hearty beef stew and wanted to incorporate his favorite beer, Guinness. I was worried that we left it in too long, but after 10 hours on low and 2 hours on warm ( it was a long day of sight-seeing) it was still awesome! Makes a flavorful, thick sauce to dip bread in. I filled the crock pot to the top because I wanted enough for them to have lunch left-overs, so decrease the amounts if needed. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Put potato, carrot, and celery chunks in the bottom of crock pot. Top with 2 bay leaves.
- Season flour with a dash of salt, pepper and garlic powder and coat the beef with the flour mixture. Heat a couple of tbsp of olive oil over med-high heat in a large skillet and add 1 bay leaf. Sauté beef in batches, just until browned.(It took me about 3 batches in a 12" skillet). Add more oil to pan as necessary for each batch. Remove and set aside.
- Add onion and garlic to the same pan and sauté over med heat for a few minutes, then add about half the can of beef broth to deglaze, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. (That's Flavor!).
- Add meat and onions to crock pot, top with mushrooms.
- Mix remaining beef broth with tomato sauce, onion soup mix, remaining seasonings, and add to crock pot. Pour in most of bottle of beer (whatever fits, I had a few sips left for me).
- Cook 8 hours on low heat. Stir in frozen peas when done, they'll heat up on their own.
- Serve with crusty French bread!
- *Tony Chachere's and Mrs. Dash are my "go-to" seasonings for everything. You can use your favorite if these are not available.

CROCK-POT GUINNESS BEEF STEW
This stew takes a little bit more preparation than other recipes before adding into the crock-pot, but it's worth it! You then just let it slow-cook all day and you'll have yourself a thick, hearty and flavorful beef stew at dinnertime. This is a favorite on a cold fall or winter afternoon, great for big family or company!

Steps:
- Heat oil in large skillet. Toss beef, flour, salt & pepper in zip-lock bag until beef is thoroughly coated. Add to hot oil and sear beef chunks on all sides until browned. Set beef in crock-pot.
- Using same pan, heat additional oil and add vidalia onions, paprika, garlic and sautee until onions translucent and reddish brown. Add red wine (approx. 2 cups or so) and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 5 minutes and then add about half jar tomato sauce. Sprinkle in thyme and sugar (if necessary), to taste. Bring to a boil once again, cook for another 5 minutes.
- While sauce is cooking, add Worcestershire sauce, celery, shallots, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, carrots, squash & potatoes to crock-pot on top of seared beef. I usually add them in this order. Once tomato-wine sauce is ready, add to crock-pot along with french onion soup and then lastly, the Guinness beer. Gently stir, allowing liquids to reach throughout.
- Cook on high setting approximately 6+ hours, then on low for another 2 hours. Stew should be just about done when meat begins to fall apart upon stirring and also when squash and potatoes have reduced in size. You may need to mash meat with wooden spoon to loosen, if necessary.
- If sauce hasn't thickened enough, add starch (premixed with a little water) to stew, stir and cook on low until it is as thick as desired. If too dry, add more Guinness. Stir in sweet peas (optional), before serving. Enjoy!
