How to Make Beef N Beer

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Season 2 lbs beef stew meat generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring all sides are well-seared (about 8-10 minutes total).
  4. Transfer browned beef to a bowl and set aside.
  5. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), and 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot. Cook until softened and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the onions and celery, stirring well to combine.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups beef broth and 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste.
  9. Pour the broth and tomato paste mixture into the pot, stirring to dissolve the paste and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
  10. Add 12 ounces of your favorite dark beer (stout or porter recommended).
  11. Stir well to combine.
  12. Return the beef to the pot. Add 2 large carrots (chopped), 2 potatoes (chopped), 1 cup chopped mushrooms (optional), and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  13. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  14. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  15. Serve hot over a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes.
