From Cuisine at Home Oct 2008 Magazine. The original recipe called for lamb but as I don't like it, I went with their variation - it suggested was beef stew meat. Any dark beer can be used in place of the Guiness
Ingredients:
2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks, seasoned with salt and pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
2 cups onions, diced
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup guinness stout
2 cups beef broth
2 cups chicken broth
2 fresh thyme sprigs
2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup savoy cabbage, sliced
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Brown beef in 2 T. oil in a large pot, over medium-high heat, 8 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl and set aside; reduce heat to medium.
2. Add 2 T. oil and onion to the pot and sweat, covered, until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cook until paste darkens, 2 minutes. Add flour, stir to coat and cook 1 minute.
3. Deglaze with beer, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pot, then add both broths, beef and its juices and thyme. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1 hour.
4. Stir in potatoes and carrot. Cook until potatoes are tender, 12 minutes, then add peas, cabbage, salt and pepper; simmer 5 minutes.
