Directions: |
Directions:* Cut the beef across the grain into into 1-inch pieces. Sprinkle with some salt, pepper and the flour and toss to coat the pieces. Set aside.
* Fry the bacon in a Dutch oven or heavy pot until done then remove it with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon drippings in the pan.
* Working in batches and being careful not to overcrowd the pieces, generously brown the beef on all sides.
* Transfer the beef to a plate and repeat until all the beef is browned.
* Add the onions and fry them, adding more oil if necessary, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
* Add garlic and herbs, cook until fragrant.
* Add the tomato paste and cook to deepen flavor.
* Add the vegetables and cook for another 5 minutes.
* Add the Guinness and bring it to a rapid boil, deglazing the bottom of the pot (scraping up the browned bits on the bottom). Boil for 2 minutes.
* Return the beef and bacon to the pot along with the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. (**At this point you can transfer everything to a slow cooker if you prefer. Follow the remaining steps and then cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.)
* Bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 2 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste.
* Serve with some crusty country bread or Irish soda bread. This stew is even better the next day. |
