How to Make Beef In Beer Stew
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of the beef and cook, turning frequently, until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Remove beef from the pot and set aside. Repeat until all beef is browned.
- Add onions and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the browned beef, beer, broth, parsley, bay leaves, vinegar, thyme, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low.
- Cover and simmer for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
- Remove bay leaves and discard. Skim off any excess fat from the surface.
- Add potatoes and carrots to the stew. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Stir in peas and mushrooms.
- Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cold water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the stew.
- Cook and stir over medium-low heat until thickened, about 3 minutes. Serve hot!
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!
