Low Carb Crock Pot Beef & Guiness Stew image

In search of a South Beach friendly Irish stew for St. Patrick's Day I borrowed from recipes #415390, #120019 & #313516. It turned out very well and I look forward to left-overs tomorrow. I would guess that this would qualify for a South Beach Phase 2 (or 2 and 1/2) unless you drink the rest of the Guinness in the 6-pack while waiting for it to cook.

Time 5h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 lbs stewing beef, in 1 inch chunks
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 carrots, chopped into large pieces
2 celery ribs, chopped into large pieces
8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, wash and cut the bigger ones in half
1 large rutabaga, peal and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 vidalia onion, chopped into fairly big chunks
2 zucchini, sliced
2 teaspoons beef bouillon
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chicken broth
1 pint Guinness stout

Steps:

  • Brown the stewing beef in the olive oil, in a hot frying pan. Just brown the outsides.
  • Combine the beef with the rest of the ingredients in a large crock pot (I use a 6 quart). Cook on low for 5 or 6 hours, or until the wife comes home (extra time isn't going to hurt it).
