My Guinness Beef Stew recipe is full of tender beef, hearty root vegetables, and a rich tomato broth with a deep savory flavor. Without a doubt, this Guinness Stew will be one of the best stew recipes you’ve ever tasted. Don’t wait until St. Patrick’s Day to make this hearty stew, it’s the perfect meal for any time of year.
Pro Tip: Add a small pinch of sugar to the mix to help balance out the bold flavors of Guinness. Once assembled, cover with a lid and pop your Dutch oven into your oven. Let it bake away for about 1 ½ to 2 hours. Be sure to check on your stew every half hour or so and give it a gentle stir.
If your stew isn’t thick enough add one tablespoon of cornstarch to one cup of liquid from the stew. This will help thicken the stew. You can also make a slurry with equal parts corn starch and water mixed together and added directly to the stew. What type of beef should I use to make Guinness beef stew?
