Best Guinness Braised Pot Roast Recipes

GUINNESS BRAISED BEEF

Steps:

• Cut roast into large 2 - 2 1/2" chunks. Trim excess fat while prepping.
• Cut unpeeled carrots into 2 inch pieces and cut onion into eighths.
• Place beef pieces in bowl, salt & pepper aggressively and sprinkle with brown sugar. Allow beef to rest for a few minutes if time permits.
• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy dutch oven over medium high heat until the oil shimmers. Brown beef in three batches, making sure all sides of the beef cubes are seared. Remove beef to platter.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to pan to heat. Add carrot and onion and cook over medium high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly browned. Sprinkle flour over vegetables then stir and cook for another 2 - 3 minutes.
• Add Guinness to pan and scrape brown bits from bottom. Add beef broth and return beef to pan. Bring to a boil. Once beef comes to heat, cover tightly with lid, and place in preheated oven. Cook for at least 3 hours, checking occasionally that the juice is holding up.
• If the gravy is too thin, remove the lid from the pan and turn up the heat to 350 degrees F for the last half hour of cooking.

GUINNESS BEER BEEF CHUCK ROAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. (Or you can also use stove top or crock-pot.)
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a wide frying pan over a high heat. Brown the meat on all sides; heavily salt and pepper both sides. [Optional to pat the beef with flour before browning for a thicker gravy.]
• Remove the meat and set aside.
• In a separate small bowl, add to 1 1/2 cups of hot water the tomato paste, instant coffee, and chili flakes. Mix well.
• In the same frying pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes, adding the tomato paste mixture. Mix together and cook for a few minutes (will be thick).
• Chop the onions, and place in the bottom of a Dutch oven. Place the cooked piece of meat on top. Spread the paste on top of the meat. Add fresh herbs for additional flavor.
• Place the chopped carrots on top of the meat and sauce. Pour the Guinness beer around the meat.

IRISH ROAST BEEF WITH GUINNESS AU JUS

Steps:

• Place the beef in a roasting pan and pour the beer over the meat. Cover the pan with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight, turning once.
• Preheat an oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Remove the roast from the stout and pat dry. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the roast on all sides. Set the browned roast on plate.
• Crush the rosemary, thyme, steak seasoning, and pepper in a mortar and pestle. Add the minced garlic and stir to make a paste. Spread the paste over the outside of the roast. Place the roast back into the roasting pan with the stout and cover loosely with foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours. Add the potatoes to the roasting pan and leave off the foil to let the roast get a crispy coating.
• Bake to your desired degree of doneness, or an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (65 degrees C) for medium, about another hour. Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 20 minutes before slicing.
• Pour the pan juices into a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until the juices have reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Strain the juices and serve with the beef and roasted potatoes.

• mustard, tomato paste, and season to taste with the salt and pepper.

GUINNESS BRAISED POT ROAST

Steps:

• Heat a large Dutch oven and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
• If you have a big piece of meat, cut it in half or in quarters.
• On high heat, brown each side of the meat and sear it so you get burnt little bits stuck to the bottom of your pan. This will create deep flavor!
• Add the onions all around the meat, and saute for a few minutes, or until the onions begin to soften. Turn the heat to medium if the onions are scorching, but keep stirring them around.
• Once the onions are near translucent, pour both bottles of Guinness over the meat.
• Add the thyme and other spices and stir.
• Cover and cook on low heat, simmering, for about 2 hours. At this point, your meat should shred slightly when poked with a fork. If it doesn't, let it cook for another half hour, and check again.
• Once the meat is at the just shredding point, make a slurry of the cornstarch and a bit of water and poor into the pot and gently stir.
• The sauce should thicken a bit as it continues to cook over the next few minutes.
• Season the gravy with salt and pepper to your liking.
• Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies for true comfort food!
