CROCK-POT GUINNESS BEEF STEW
This stew takes a little bit more preparation than other recipes before adding into the crock-pot, but it's worth it! You then just let it slow-cook all day and you'll have yourself a thick, hearty and flavorful beef stew at dinnertime. This is a favorite on a cold fall or winter afternoon, great for big family or company!

Steps:
- Heat oil in large skillet. Toss beef, flour, salt & pepper in zip-lock bag until beef is thoroughly coated. Add to hot oil and sear beef chunks on all sides until browned. Set beef in crock-pot.
- Using same pan, heat additional oil and add vidalia onions, paprika, garlic and sautee until onions translucent and reddish brown. Add red wine (approx. 2 cups or so) and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 5 minutes and then add about half jar tomato sauce. Sprinkle in thyme and sugar (if necessary), to taste. Bring to a boil once again, cook for another 5 minutes.
- While sauce is cooking, add Worcestershire sauce, celery, shallots, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, carrots, squash & potatoes to crock-pot on top of seared beef. I usually add them in this order. Once tomato-wine sauce is ready, add to crock-pot along with french onion soup and then lastly, the Guinness beer. Gently stir, allowing liquids to reach throughout.
- Cook on high setting approximately 6+ hours, then on low for another 2 hours. Stew should be just about done when meat begins to fall apart upon stirring and also when squash and potatoes have reduced in size. You may need to mash meat with wooden spoon to loosen, if necessary.
- If sauce hasn't thickened enough, add starch (premixed with a little water) to stew, stir and cook on low until it is as thick as desired. If too dry, add more Guinness. Stir in sweet peas (optional), before serving. Enjoy!
