Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

6 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 yellow onions, quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (15 ounce) can Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
1 cup beef stock
2 large potatoes, cut into 1 1/2- inch cubes
1/2 pound carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).

Heat olive oil and bay leaves in a 6-quart oven-proof pot over high heat. Place 1/4 cup flour in a shallow bowl, press beef cubes into flour, and sear beef in the hot oil until the meat has a browned crust, about 3 minutes per side. Cook and stir onions with beef until onions are translucent, 5 more minutes. Reduce heat to low.

Combine garlic, thyme, and rosemary leaves with 2 tablespoons flour in a small bowl; stir flour mixture into beef and onions until thoroughly combined. Pour beer and beef stock into mixture, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix potatoes, carrots, and parsley into beef and sauce; cover pot.

Braise stew in the preheated oven until potatoes are cooked through and beef is tender, about 3 hours; stir occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper.
