Time 4h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 pounds boneless beef chuck, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 (15 ounce) can Irish stout beer (e.g. Guinness®)
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
1 pound round red potatoes, halved
3 carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish; add beef pieces. Toss to coat each piece evenly. Reserve remaining flour mixture for later use.
  • Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet; cook and stir coated beef, working in batches, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer cooked beef to a slow cooker.
  • Cook and stir onion in the same skillet used for beef until golden, about 5 minutes. Add beer and garlic; bring to a boil for 1 minute. Scrape browned bits of food from bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour onion mixture into the slow cooker.
  • Mix beef broth, parsley, thyme, and bay leaves into beef mixture in slow cooker.
  • Cook on Low until beef is almost tender, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Sprinkle in the reserved flour mixture; stir well. Add potatoes and carrots.
  • Cook on High until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Arrange puff pastry on baking sheets; pierce each piece several times with a fork.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Ladle stew into individual dishes; top each with a pastry square.
