Homemade Beef Stew

Yes, more Guinness!  This time with a savory Beef Stew Recipe that is perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day dinner.

I love making thick, filling beef stew.  I basically just replaced some stock from my usual beef stew recipe with Guinness Extra Stout.  It creates a great flavor that is a nice change from the usual beef stew.

Fill your bowl with tender chunks of beef, fresh carrots, meaty mushrooms in a rich gravy.

Beef Stew:  No Tin Cans Allowed!

I make my beef stew by building up a thick base with flour and broth.  It is a little more work than just dumping the ingredients into a slow cooker.  But, the end result is definitely worth the extra effort.

I used rump roast for my stew meat {because I’m cheap and it was on sale}. Check out this article for more meaty options:

    I’m really trying to start cooking with more beer (instead of just the pairings). This is such a great recipe, and sounds like something I can handle! Thanks for sharing! Pinned!
