Hearty Beef and Guinness Irish Stew

1. 1

   In a bowl, toss the beef cubes with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Dredge the beef cubes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

3. 3

   Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the coated beef cubes, working in batches, until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the browned beef to a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot.

4. 4

   In the same skillet used for browning the beef, cook and stir the onions and the garlic until lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir the tomato paste with enough water to partially thin it; pour into the onion mixture. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium, cover the Dutch oven, and simmer for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Pour half of the Irish stout into the onion mixture and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Transfer the entire mixture to the browned beef. Pour the remaining half of the Irish stout into the beef mixture; add the thyme.

7. 7

   Cover the Dutch oven, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 hours. Add the potatoes and the carrots and continue to simmer, stirring every 20 minutes, until the potatoes are soft, about 1 hour. Adjust salt as needed; garnish with parsley.
