Beef and beer stew is a comforting and hearty dish that combines tender chunks of beef with the rich flavors of beer and vegetables. Perfect for a cozy evening at home, this stew is sure to warm you up and satisfy your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the onion and celery.
- Slice the carrot.
- Mince the garlic.
- Cut the beef into chunks if not pre-cubed.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef chunks to the pot, making sure not to overcrowd them. You may need to do this in batches. Brown the beef on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion, celery, and sliced carrot. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the vegetables and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of flour over the vegetables, stirring well to combine. Let the flour cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste.
- Slowly pour in the 2 cups of beer and 1 cup of beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Return the browned beef and any accumulated juices back to the pot.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer gently for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- About 20 minutes before the stew is done, add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Stir to incorporate and allow them to cook until tender.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- If the stew is too thick, you can add a bit more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Ladle the beef and beer stew into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy with crusty bread or over a bed of mashed potatoes if desired.
Tips:
- Select a good quality beer to enhance the flavors of the stew. A dark ale or stout works well.
- Make sure to brown the beef properly to add depth to the flavor of the stew.
- For a thicker stew, you can simmer it with the lid off during the last 30 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like potatoes or parsnips for additional flavor and texture.
- This stew can be made in advance and tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together.
Once the stew has simmered to perfection, you'll have a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the rich and savory flavors of the beef and beer stew with a side of crusty bread or over a bed of mashed potatoes.
