How do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? This year try my Beef and Guinness Stew that is hearty, delicious, and satisfyingly savory!
Personally, I like to make some sort of tasty dish reminiscent of either Irish traditions or some sort of Irish ingredients…
Sometimes I’ll do just pops of green colors in a dish…but this year I decided to make this delicious stew with Guinness in the broth and it turned out amazing! Guinness is a favorite of my husband’s, and I love the depth of flavor it gives to a dish when cooking with it.
Just beware of adding salt to any dish made with Guinness because as it cooks it becomes salty. So make sure to taste to adjust the salt to your liking near the end of cooking. I don’t add any additional salt into the stew besides salting the meat when browning.
Irish soda bread, mashed potatoes, and even French bread all go really well paired with this dish.
Yes, it takes a little bit of extra time to make but the slow braising makes for a much more tender stew and is so worth it!!
