Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bottle guinness stout beer (or as much as needed to cover beef)
2 1/2 lb beef (stew or any you like)
2 large onions
6 medium carrots
2 Tbsp flour, seasoned
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Steps:

1. prep work: cut beef into chunks; peel and slice onions and carrots
2. beef prep: toss beef in flour and brown quickly in hot fat or olive oil or butter, whichever you prefer
3. remove the beef from the pan and add the onions; fry the onions until transparent
4. return the beef to the pan; add carrots and Guinness Stout beer (which you may cut with water, if you prefer)
5. bring to a boil, reduce the heat to "simmer", cover closely, and cook for at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours (the longer it cooks, the more tender the meat!) If you want to use a dutch oven, slow cooker/crockpot (as some have suggested), check your slow cooker/crockpot instructions for converting the time needed to cook; dutch oven should take a medium heat, require checking liquid level, and cook time to desired tenderness of beef - much like doing it on the stove top.
6. check throughout cooking time and top up liquid, if necessary
