Beef & Guinness Stew - St. Patrick's Day Special - Beef Stewed in Guinness Beer

[foodwishes]

You don't want your lovely beef tasting like canned beef broth. Chicken broth is a more neutral flavor and blends with the natural taste of the chuck. Thanks!

I've made this recipe a few times now. Both with mashed potatoes and potatoes chunked into the stew and both are absolutely amazing. The are a ton of beef stew recipes on here and this is one of my favorites.

Best made the night before Paddies Day, the next morning have a plate of it for breakfast washed down with beer, you'll be set up right then for a days drinking, later that night finish off the stew and head for the big sleep. Lovely.

This is a great recipe. FYI for people trying it out for the first time: 1. Use a good cut of meat (made a huge difference). 2. Add extra seasoning outside of salt and pepper for better flavour. I used: Bay leaves, oregano, steak spice, beef broth instead of chicken and little extra brown sugar than he recommended and it had an amazing taste. 3. The longer you let simmer (I let mine simmer for closer to 3 hours) the thicker the sauce, turning it into a beautiful gravy with a perfect thick texture. Keep tasting and adjusting as you go 😊

Made this today for my dad's 82nd birthday. So delicious. Totally worth the time and effort. A very special experience.

Literally just finished making and eating this. It was absolutely incredible! Better than anything my actual Irish mother ever made.

Hi John this is one of your greats ! I made a double lot for a large family dinner tonight, actually I made it two days ago, so its been maturing and improving in the fridge. It was a huge success with seconds in high demand. One 11 year old grandson announcing ( while tucking into seconds ) that this is what he wanted to eat every day. Making it ahead of time also allowed me to remove the congealed fat from the surface. Thanks for helping make me look good. Keep 'em coming.

I am making this as we speak and it looks EXACTLY as the recipe getting ready to do the final reduce and the house smells family is sniffing and "when is it ready?"

This recipe is amazing. I've made it a couple of times now. I use beef stock instead of chicken stock, and the Guinness "Extra Stout" instead of Guinness Draught (The Extra stout in the US is what's considered actual/regular Guinness in Europe) But other than that, amazing.

The Potato you used, here in N. Ireland we call that "Champ" or if you mix it with Kale or cabbage its "Colcannon" !

[Ladybrite]

Well that was a wonderful family dinner... We just finished dinner and I wasn't the only one who went for seconds; no left overs. Thanks John for another great meal.

Thank you. Thank you for food and recipies where someone does not have to do a dance and a spin and touch the nose this way but not that way before winking twice and clapping five times. In case that last sentence was confusing thank you for approachable and uncomplicated food. Thank you for taking basics and turning them into something extraordinary. 😄

St. Patrick's Day is next month and what to make for dinner is no longer a question. Chef John, you're a life saver!

[ajeldrez]

That looks delicious. And I like that you thickened it naturally without flour.

Just now sitting down to a plate of this stew (which I made today - thanks Chef John!) on a bed of mashed potatoes, with a glass of Guinness and a new song from the Young Dubliners, on this fine St. Patrick's Day evening, March 17, 2024. Happy Guinness New Year, everyone! Slainte!
