How to Make Beef And Beer Stew

- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 carrots, chopped, to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more.
- Return beef to the pot. Add 1 (12 oz) bottle of beer (or 1 cup beef stock), 4 cups beef broth, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until beef is very tender.
- Stir in 1 cup peeled and cubed potatoes and 1 cup peeled and chopped celery. Continue to simmer for 30 minutes, or until potatoes and celery are tender.
- Remove bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
