🇮🇪 Ireland recipe
Guinness Stew
Guinness stew is Ireland's other great stew, the beef counterpart to the lamb-based Irish stew. Using Guinness stout as the braising liquid gives the gravy a remarkable depth: malty, slightly bitter, and almost chocolate-dark. The stout tenderizes the beef and creates a complex sauce that no amount of stock alone could achieve. Root vegetables and fresh herbs round out a dish that is warming, rich, and deeply satisfying, best eaten on a dark winter evening with the rain lashing against the window.
