Guinness Beef image

This is a modified recipe from one that a friend gave me. This is perfect if you love stew, and the beer is in no way overpowering. It makes the beef nice and tender, in fact you can cut the beef with your spoon. I prefer the potatoes unpeeled, and for carrots I've used baby carrots instead of 3 regular carrots sliced, which works good too. Enjoy with a nice glass of Guinness. I suggest not substituting the Guinness for another beer in this recipe, I've tried it with Blue Moon and it does not work. And use regular Guinness from the bottle, or tap if you're lucky, not Extra Stout or from the can.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs sirloin steaks
2 onions
8 red potatoes
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup plain flour
1 cup beef stock
1 cup Guinness stout

2 tablespoons parsley

Steps:

  • Chop onions, crush garlic and slice carrots and potatoes, do not skin.
  • Cut meat into small chunks.

  • Reduce heat and add flour. Coat the meat with the flour and add stock slowly to form a thick sauce. Add Guinness and simmer. Add onions and garlic, potatoes and carrots, herbs and season with salt and pepper. Stir all ingredients simmer for 1-2 hours.
