This hearty Irish stew is rich, flavorful, and comforting. The secret weapon? A cup of Guinness stout adds a deeper, more complex flavor. (You can’t taste the beer in the finished dish; it melds into the sauce.)
Try serving with a side of our dill and potato cakes or a big chunk of buttered Irish soda bread!
Season beef with salt and pepper, then toss beef chunks in flour until well coated.
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm drippings then brown beef in two batches. When all pieces are browned, remove beef from pan and set aside.
Add onions and garlic to the Dutch oven and turn heat down to medium. Cook until onions are translucent.
Return beef to Dutch oven and add carrots, potatoes, turnips, stout, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 2 hours, or until beef is tender.
