This hearty stew is ideal for the colder winter months and great comfort food. Traditionally made with beef and a chicken stock, you can replace with tofu and vegetable stock for a veggie version, or simply add more vegetables if tofu is not your thing

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup carrots chopped
  • 1 cup onions chopped
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 2 lbs beef cubed
  • 2-3 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1 bottle Guinness
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • 2 cups chicken stock

Method
 

  1. To begin, cook the 2 pounds of beef over the stove until brown for about 3-5 minutes
  2. Once the beef is cooked, mix in the vegetables and let it cook for another five
  3. Gradually add in the seasonings. If you'd like other seasonings besides garlic and pepper feel free to add those in, they're just the seasonings I prefer!
  4. Then pour the Guinness over top. Take everything from the pan and move it into a large pot
  5. Add in the tomato paste and the chicken (or vegetable) stock
  6. Let it simmer on low with a cover until the beef is cooked to the way that you'd prefer - this will normally take anywhere from 1.5 - 2 hours. Stir occasionally
  7. When it gets close to being ready, cook your mashed potatoes to your liking
  8. After your stew is just about ready, remove the cover and let it cook for about another 20 minutes so that it can thicken up a little bit more before you feast
  9. Once it's ready, spoon some mashed potatoes on top and you're good to go!
