Ingredients

How to make it

  • Heat a 6 quart stove-top casserole and add the oil and bay leaves. Cook the bay leaves for a moment and then add the meat.
  • Brown the meat on both sides on high heat (I flour the meat first). add the sliced onion and cook until the onions are translucent.
  • Reduce heat to low and add the garlic thyme, rosemary and flour; stir until smooth. Add the beef stock and stout.
  • Simmer, stirring until the stew thickens a bit. Add the remaining ingredients and cover.
  • Place the pot in a 275 degree oven for about 2 hours, stirring a couple of times. Add salt and pepper to taste

    March 18/16 Made this for our St. Patrick's Day Celebration. Wow what a great recipe for sure. I ended up allowing the stew to slow roast for about 6 hours. The meat was tender and full of great flavour. Will be making again.

    This was a really great stew but I'm really convinced Griz meant 1-1/4 cup of beef stock. I had 3/4 of a cup leftover from another recipe. Started off with 1/4 of a cup and ended up using the whole 3/4 cup which made a lot of difference. Made some dumplings to go with it. This made a great Christmas meal for me. 12/25/12 Added a picture. Miss you, Griz, and your silly Christmas joke text messages. More in IMI

    I learned this essential recipe as "Beef Carbonade ala Flamande" at a Country French Cooking class years ago. The Guinness really gives the flavor a boost and body and the results are terrific. Hey - try the Avoca Brown Bread recipe I posted, from the Avoca Mills in the Wicklow Mountains, and you'll have a great St. Patrick's Day meal. Don't forget to drink your pint of Guinness with the meal.

    I'm starting to wonder if us English, Irish, Scott people are the only ones who like Guiness in our stew. Great recipe Grizz.
