Guinness Beef Stew Recipe

Slow cooker beef stew made with beef and hearty veggies served with a delicious Guinness Beer sauce. Perfect Irish stew recipe for a cold winter’s night or in my case, a warm Florida evening.

Guinness Beer has a very deep taste that compliments the beef really well and slowly cooks down into a flavorful sauce. Do not worry about the alcohol content since it evaporates during the cooking process leaving only the savory goodness.

St. Patrick’s Day is the best excuse to use Irish Products on everyday recipes. Beef Stews are great to make in bulk and just freeze off in little baggies or eat during the week.

I love adding the potatoes at the beginning of the cooking process since they break down and melt thickening the sauce.  If you would like your potatoes to be firmer, you can add them at the middle of cooking.

Traditional Irish Stew is made with lamb or mutton. It has a different gamey flavor that is very distinctive. Unfortunately, I had a hard time finding both ingredients and ended up making it with Beef. It’s still has a melt in your mouth delicious flavor.

If you don’t have a crock pot, you can still make it using a Dutch Pan or a heavy bottomed pan. Simply simmer the ingredients on low heat for 2-3 hours. Just keep in mind that you need to check it in case the liquid absorbs and the meat ends up dry.

I don’t know about you but these comforting warm foods really lift my spirits on those stressful days. It’s nice to come home to the smell of fresh Guinness Beef Stew that’s been cooking all day. Just the aroma instantly changes my mood. My kids and hubby love the tender meat that falls off the bone.

Hope you can make this Guinness Beef Stew at home. If you do, please tag me on Instagram @livingsweetmoments and/or use the hashtag #LivingSweet – I promise to Repost it.
