I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
Guinness Beef Stew
...in your mind.

Directions

  1. Cook bacon in a heavy pot )that has a lid) until not quite crispy, remove to a plate
  2. Season beef well with salt & pepper, add a bit more oil to the pot if dry then sear the beef in batches getting good color - don't overcrowd the pot, then transfer to a plate
  3. Add a bit more oil, put in the onion and cook 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally - then add garlic, stirring until fragrant
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the top, and stir until well mixed in
  5. Add Guinness and use a wooden spoon to scrape all along the bottom of the pot, thereby betting anything stuck (which you want) then stir in the tomato paste
  6. Add the carrots, potatoes, bacon, seared beef, enough chicken stock just to cover everything in the pot, the Worcestershire, horseradish and dried thyme
  7. Stir well to combine, then bring to a boil, cover and turn down to a simmer for 1 1/2 -2 hours, or until the beef is tender
  8. Remove the lid and continue to simmer to let it thicken to where you want - prob 20-30 minutes
  9. Taste, and add more salt & pepper if desired and serve sprinkled with parsley
