Guinness Stew
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
- 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
Instructions
- To begin, cook the 2 pounds of beef over the stove until brown for about 3-5 minutes
- Once the beef is cooked, mix in the vegetables and let it cook for another five
- 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!
- Then pour the Guinness over top. Take everything from the pan and move it into a large pot
- Add in the tomato paste and the chicken (or vegetable) stock
- 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
- When it gets close to being ready, cook your mashed potatoes to your liking
- 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
- Once it's ready, spoon some mashed potatoes on top and you're good to go!
