Traditional Irish Beef in Stout Recipe

This is a thick stew, which also goes under a variety of names such as beef in ale and also steak and Guinness (after the famous Stout, which would obviously have to be used as the ingredient).

Beef in Ale

Ingredients:
2lb stewing steak cubed(obtain as good quality as possible)
2 onions peeled & sliced
2 tablespoons flour
2-4 oz Sliced onions(personal taste)
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1/2 pint stout (FLAVOURING!! It isn't a drink you are preparing)
1 teaspoon soft brown sugar
Seasoning (Salt & Pepper)
Oil/butter for frying
1 teaspoon chopped parsley (garnish-not necessary according to taste)

Method:

Flash fry the meat in the oil and/or butter. Remove from frying pan. Add the onions and fry them until they are fully softened(but not brown). Stir in the flour and season, then return the meat and add the carrots, mushrooms, stout and sugar. Once fully mixed, transfer to a pot, stir again then bring to boil, cover and simmer for 2-2&1/2 hours until the meat is tender.

Serve with a potato dish of your choice and garnished with the Parsley if desired.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
