How to Make Beer Beef Stew

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 2 lbs beef stew meat to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large 6-quart stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and sauté for 8-10 minutes, until softened.
  5. Remove the onion from the pot and set aside.
  6. Add another 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the pot.
  7. Add the coated beef chunks to the pot and brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary.
  8. Return the sautéed onion to the pot.
  9. Pour in 1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer (dark beer recommended), 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons steak sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
  10. Add 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed; 1 cup frozen peas; 1 cup chopped carrots; and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  11. Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 60 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
