Ingredients

Beef

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 lbs boneless chuck roast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper

Stew

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 3 large carrots, peeled, chopped into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 lb baby Yukon potatoes with skin on (cut in half)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 12 oz bottle Guinness beer
  • 1 can tomato paste (6 oz)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (more to taste if needed)
  • 1 tsp pepper (more to taste if needed)
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the beef by cutting it into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel. Generously salt and pepper the beef
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stock pot over medium high heat. Add the beef to the pot and sear on each side for about 3 minutes. There is no need to cook it through, just give it a nice golden sear. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent and golden. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, until a paste forms. If the paste is too dry, you can drizzle in more olive oil if needed.
  • Pour in the Guinness and use a whisk to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in the beef stock, carrots, potatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and bay leaves.
  • Add in the cooked beef, cover the pot, and simmer on low for 1 1/2 hours. Occasionally stir the stew, and cook until the beef is tender and the potatoes and carrots are soft.
  • Discard the bay leaves. Season with salt, pepper, and more Italian seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with crusty artisan bread!
