Rich + Comforting Guinness Stew Recipe Is a Hearty Take On A Pub Favorite
Stout beer adds extra authentic flavor to this one-pot dish
When the air turns brisk and leaves start to change into shades of crimson, gold and orange, I’m ready for cozy meals like soups and stews. I love to put a big Dutch oven on the stove and let it simmer while warm aromas fill the house. That’s what inspired this Guinness Stew recipe. It preps in just 20 minutes. And it cooks up in one pot so cleanup is a breeze.
We coat beef cubes in flour, then sear them. The flour creates crunchy bits on the bottom of the pot that add richness. Plus, browning the meat seals in juices ensuring it turns out fall-apart tender. We stir in beef broth and stout to help scrape up the brown bits, but you can simply sub in more broth for a non-alcoholic version. Then mushroom gravy mix is the easy secret to even more flavor. Cook up a batch today, then let us know what you think.
