Ingredients
-
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
-
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
-
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
-
4 cups beef broth

1 (11.2-oz.) bottle Guinness
-
2 tsp. fresh thyme
-
Finely chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
-
Brown the Beef:
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the stew meat with salt and pepper. Working in batches if needed, brown the meat on all sides until golden, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a plate. -
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. -
Simmer the Stew:
Return the beef to the pot. Add the potatoes, broth, beer, and thyme, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the beef and potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. -
Serve:
Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with parsley. Pair with crusty sourdough, Irish brown bread, or creamy mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort meal.
