Guiness Beef Stew

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak tips, cut into 1 inch pieces

3 large carrots, peeled and sliced thin

2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes

1 cup frozen pearl onions, thawed (may also use 1 medium onion chopped)

2 cups low sodium beef broth or stock

1 cup Guinness Draught

Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Next, add the beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Cook beef until well browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Melt butter in the now-empty pot. Add carrots, potatoes, onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until browned, 6 to 8 minutes.

Stir in broth, beer and beef, along with any accumulated juices, and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until beef and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
