This recipe calls for a brown ale or a strong dark beer. It is recommended that you do not use a stout. I found this recipe in Eating Well Magazine.

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
2 lbs bottom round steaks, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 lb cremini mushrooms or 3/4 lb white button mushrooms
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups brown ale or 2 cups dark beer
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low until the beef is very tender, about 8 hours.

This stew is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The beef is fall-apart tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I served it over egg noodles and it was a hit with my family.
