Beef and Guinness Stew

This classic Beef and Guinness Stew uses almost a pint of the black stuff to add flavour. Combined with onions and mashed potatoes it's a winter winner!

Ingredients

  • 2 kilo beef shin, diced
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions, peeled and halved
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 500ml Guinness
  • 25g butter
  • 1 small bunch of parsley chopped
To serve:
  • Mashed potatoes

Method

Season the flour then use it to coat the beef. Place a pan over a medium heat, add the oil and when it is hot, brown the beef in batches and place into a slow cooker. In the same pan char the onions and add to the pot with the garlic, stock and Guinness.

Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 8 to 12 hours.

Spoon the meat into a serving bowl. Pour the sauce and onions into a pan and boil to reduce slightly and adding the butter to thicken it.
