Organic Beef and Irish Stout Stew
"This stew is great for St. Patrick's Day. The mixture of the beef and Guinness is awesome! I usually add more beer than the recipe calls for. Serve with mashed potatoes." Original recipe yield: 6 servings PREP TIME 30 Min COOK TIME 3 Hrs READY IN 3 Hrs 30 Min US METRIC SERVINGS About scaling and conversions INGREDIENTS 2 pounds lean beef stew meat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour freshly ground black pepper to taste 1 pinch cayenne pepper 2 large onions, chopped 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 1/2 cups Irish stout beer (e.g., Guinness) 2 cups chopped carrot 1 sprig fresh thyme 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish DIRECTIONS Toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Dredge the beef in this to coat. Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, and brown on all sides. Add the onions, and garlic. Stir the tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup of the beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds a lot of flavor to the broth. Pour in the rest of the beer, and add the carrots and thyme. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
