1

Cut chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and try to remove any large pieces of fat. Toss cubed beef in flour and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2

Heat olive oil in a large sturdy pot over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the beef and cook for 6-8 minutes until seared on all sides.
3

Add carrots, parsnips, onions, garlic and new potatoes to pan and stir all ingredients together. Let cook for a few minutes to combine flavors.
4

Add tomatoes, Guinness™, beef broth, brown sugar and chili powder and bring to a slight simmer.
5

Turn heat down to low and simmer, partially covered, for at least an hour (but up to 2 hours) until beef is very tender.
6

Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve garnished with sour cream and scallions.

Expert Tips

This can easily be made in a slow cooker by browning the beef in a skillet and then transferring the beef along with all other ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

More About This Recipe

A classic and simple beef stew simmered in Stout beer. When I think of comfort food at its best, I think of a good beef stew. A good stew will take humble ingredients and make them better than their parts. The steps are easy, but it does need to simmer for a while to make the beef nice and tender. It’s not a recipe to rush! Simmering the ingredients in Guinness™ adds a real complexity to the finished stew. It’ll have flavors of coffee and chocolate, but not in an overpowering way. It’s a guaranteed dinnertime winner, especially in colder months. When you’re ready to serve, top with sour cream and chopped fresh scallions. Enjoy!
