Beef and Guinness Stew

This traditional Irish stew is made with cubes of beef, onions, bacon, tomato paste, stock, Guinness stout beer, and vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and celery. The stew is flavored with bay leaves, thyme, salt, garlic, and black pepper, while flour is added as a thickening agent.

It should be cooked very slowly over low heat until all the flavors are thoroughly combined. Beef and Guinness stew can be served with biscuits or Irish soda bread on the side, and it is recommended to prepare it on colder days or for St. Patrick’s Day.
