Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef and brown it on all sides, about 10 minutes; set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil; add the bacon and cook just until it starts to brown. Stir in the onion, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, and sugar; cook and stir until the vegetables are soft and browned, 10 to 15 more minutes.

Stir in the flour until smoothly incorporated, then gradually mix in the Guinness and beef stock. Stir in the thyme, bay leaves, and the reserved cooked beef. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil; reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the beef is tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the cover, increase the heat to medium, and boil the stew until slightly thickened, about 15 more minutes. Mix the cornstarch with water, stir it into the stew, and let it simmer for 30 more minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaves.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
