1-2 bottles Guinness (12.5 ounce size)

OVEN-BRAISED GUINNESS BEEF STEW WITH HORSERADISH CREAM



Oven-Braised Guinness Beef Stew With Horseradish Cream image

Classic beef stew is good, but this sophisticated beef stew - enriched with beer, cocoa powder and espresso - is really something special. Start by browning the beef and making a quick roux to guarantee a thick, flavorful stew instead of a watery, bland soup, and finish with hit of balsamic vinegar and lemon juice to balance out the rich, round notes. Dried shiitake mushrooms provide another layer of complexity, but if you can't find them, leave them out. The stew will still be delicious. Top big bowls of it with swirls of tangy horseradish cream. (Here are slow cooker and pressure cooker versions of the recipe.)

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 pounds beef chuck, fat trimmed and meat cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons plus 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more as needed
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
2 dried shiitake mushrooms, halved (optional)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
2 1/2 cups Guinness or other stout beer
2 1/2 cups beef stock or broth
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1 pound red or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
1 to 1 1/2 pounds root vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, rutabaga, celery root and parsnips, peeled and cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice, plus more to taste
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons jarred horseradish
1/4 cup minced scallions or chives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the beef and 2 tablespoons flour. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high. Working in batches, add the beef and let it brown on two sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add a bit more oil if the meat sticks. (You can brown it on more than two sides if you have time, but browning it on two sides is enough to build flavor and texture.) Transfer the browned beef to a bowl or plate.
  • Make the gravy: Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add the garlic, dried shiitakes (if using), tomato paste, brown sugar, cocoa, onion powder, caraway seeds and espresso powder. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant and evenly combined, 1 to 2 minutes. (Reduce the heat to low or remove from the heat temporarily if the bottom of the pan threatens to burn.) Add the remaining 1/3 cup flour and cook, stirring and scraping constantly, until the mixture forms a thick, dry paste, about 1 minute. Add the beer and stock. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, whisking constantly to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it boil until smooth and thickened, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Add the beef and any juices, thyme, potatoes and root vegetables. Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until the beef and vegetables are tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
  • Add the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Taste, and season with more salt, pepper and lemon juice if necessary. (If the stew tastes flat, add more lemon juice first, then more salt and pepper; acid is key to making it taste lively. It may need a surprising amount of salt, especially if you have used unsalted or low-salt stock.) Discard the thyme.
  • Make the horseradish cream: Stir together the sour cream, horseradish and scallions in a small bowl. Season with salt. Serve stew in bowls with a spoonful of the horseradish cream on top.

BEEF AND GUINNESS® STEW



Beef and Guinness® Stew image

The maltiness of dark beer really does amazing things for this gravy. It's a very simple dish, but at the same time it has a deep, complex, rich flavor. I served this in a nice ring of green onion-mashed potatoes. I hope you give this a try, whether for St. Patrick's Day or anytime of the year.

Time 3h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
2 ½ pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 onions, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon salt
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.9 ounce) can dark beer (such as Guinness®)
¼ cup tomato paste
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
2 ½ cups chicken stock, or as needed to cover
4 cups mashed potatoes

Steps:

  • Cook and stir bacon in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until bacon is browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat and transfer bacon into a large stew pot, reserving bacon fat in the skillet.
  • Season beef chuck cubes generously with 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Turn heat to high under skillet and sear beef pieces in the hot fat on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes. Place beef in stew pot with bacon, leaving fat in skillet. Turn heat down to medium; cook and stir onions in the retained fat in the skillet until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes; season with a large pinch of salt.
  • Cook garlic with onions until soft, about 1 minute; pour beer into skillet and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up and dissolving any browned bits of food into the liquid. Pour cooking liquid from skillet into the stew pot. Stir in tomato paste, thyme sprigs, carrots, celery, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and enough chicken broth to cover.
  • Bring stew to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine; reduce heat to low and cover pot. Simmer stew until beef is fork-tender, about 2 hours. Stir stew occasionally and skim fat or foam if desired.
  • Remove cover and raise heat to medium-high. Bring stew to a low boil and cook until stew has slightly thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Arrange mashed potatoes in a ring in a serving bowl; ladle stew into the center of the potatoes.

Steps:

  • 1Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Meanwhile, season the beef all over with salt and pepper.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 4 minutes. 4Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until no longer raw-tasting, about 2 minutes. Pour in the Guinness and stir to incorporate the flour, breaking up any lumps and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer until reduced by half. 5Return the beef and bacon to the pan along with any accumulated juices and add the carrots and bouquet garni. Add the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a tightfitting lid, and simmer until the beef is tender, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Return the beef, onion, bacon, and carrots to the pan and stir. If you choose, serve with steamed red potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good choices for braising in Guinness. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before braising it. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a good quality Guinness. A stout beer with a malty flavor will work best.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the braising liquid. This will add flavor and complexity to the dish.
  • Cook the beef until it is fall-apart tender. This may take several hours, but it is worth the wait.
  • Serve the beef with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Beef braised in Guinness is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is also a relatively easy dish to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a delicious and comforting meal, give beef braised in Guinness a try.
