Recipe by:
Ickenham
St. Patty's Day done right: Meat, potatoes, and Ireland's best beer.
Ready in 2 hours 15 mins
Added to favorites by 63 cooks
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 onion
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 3 cups Guinness Beer (bottled)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Preparation method
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 2 hours1.
Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Cut two of the potatoes into slices, and the other two into quarters. (The sliced potatoes break down and thicken the stew.)
2.
Put a pot over medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, put in the onion and garlic, salt and pepper.
3.
Cook the onions and garlic until soft, about six minutes.
4.
Add the Guinness, the beef, and the potatoes to the pot. Turn the heat to high.
5.
When the whole mess of goodness begins to boil, turn the heat to low/simmer and cover the pot.
6.
Simmer the stew for two hours, stirring every once in a while. About ten minutes before it's done, taste it and add more salt and pepper if you like.
Serving suggestion
I tossed some parsley on it at the end b/c I happened to have some. Not necessary.

Moderately easy
A great recipe, but ruined by using Guinness Extra Stout; this version of the beer resulted in a very bitter-tasting stew.
I had made the stew the night before I needed it, so I let it sit overnight, and tried to alleviate the bitterness by using several of the tips outlined here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/483649
Unfortunately, nothing could really get rid of the bitter aftertaste, especially in the vegetable, which seemed to soak it in.
Lesson learned -- next time, I'll use straight Guinness, or a slightly more mellow stout.

I made this today since I'm not a big corned beef fan. I added some liquid smoke, worchestershire sauce, carrots, onion and mushrooms. Really good!

Easy
My husband is a meat and potatoes sort of guy, and his favorite beer is Guinness. I couldn't wait to make this recipe for him. It turned out awesome! The Guinness gave the stew such a wonderful flavor.
