Smokey Beef Stew (Guinness Beef Stew)
Beef stew is a great dish to warm you up on a cold day. Here is what you will need: 2lbs of beef, 1 small bag of carrots, 1 bag of small potatoes, 1 bag of parsnips, 1 package of cippolini onions, 2 large mushroom caps, thyme, parsley, beef broth, and 2-3 cans of Guinness.
Beef for stew is usually already cut by the butcher. If not, look for 2lbs of round or chuck and you can cube it into pieces. Lightly dredge the pieces of beef in seasoned flour. The next steps can be done on the stove but I did it all outside on the grill. I did it all outside on the grill. Place a heavy-duty Dutch oven or cast-iron pot over medium heat. Heat the olive oil in the pan. Once the oil starts to heat up add the pieces of beef and brown on all sides. Do this in small batches, so you don’t overcrowd the pan. Deglaze the pan with 1 can of Guinness and scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the beef to the pan and add a second can of Guinness to cover it. Leave the cover off the pan. Add a few wood chunks to the fire and cover the grill. Cook for 45-60 mins. The cippolini onions and mushroom caps can be seasoned with olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly cracked pepper and grilled. Rough chop once grilled and save to add to stew. The carrots, potatoes, and parsnips can be chopped while the beef cooks. Try to keep the pieces the same size so they cook evenly. Once the beef has cooked for about an hour, add the carrots, potatoes, parsnips, onions, mushrooms, and tie up a bundle of fresh thyme. Add more Guinness or beef stock to cover all the ingredients and add the cover to the pot. Cook for an additional 45 mins until the carrots, potatoes and parsnips are tender. Grill some bread for dunking in the stew. Spoon the stew into a bowl and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
