Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds of beef stew meat cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 small onion chopped yellow
  • 1 1/2 tbsp minced cloves
  • 19 oz of Irish Beer such as Guinness
  • 1 3/4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1- pound small russet potatoes chopped into 1” pieces
  • 4 large carrots peeled cut into 1”-1 1/2” chunks
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions
 

  • Place your Dutch oven over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. 
  • Toss the stew meat in the flour to fully coat the pieces. 
  • Once the oil is ready, add the beef to the Dutch oven in a single layer. If you need to brown the stew meat in batches, do so.
  • Flip the pieces every 5 minutes to sear all the sides. 
  • While the stew meat is browning, dice your onion, peel, and chop your whole carrots into 1” pieces. 
  • Once the meat is almost fully cooked, remove it and set aside. Sauté the onion, garlic, and carrots for 5 minutes stirring regularly. 
  • Rinse and chop your potatoes into 1” pieces. 
  • Once the onion and carrots have softened, add the potatoes and meat back to the Dutch oven. 
  • Pour a little bit of the beer into the Dutch oven and scrap the bottom to clear it of any stuck-on food. 
  • Add the remaining beer, the broth, and Worcestershire sauce and stir. 
  • Add the tomato paste, the seasoning, and the bay leaf. Stir until the paste has incorporated. 
  • Add the lid, drop the heat to low medium, and let simmer for 30 minutes. 
  • Remove the lid, drop the heat to warm, and serve!
