Happy Sunday to my QVC pals,

I wish to share a meal which looks very appetizing.

I will try it soon and advise if it tasted as delicious as it looks.

BEEF AND STOUT OVER MASHED POTATOES

Ingredients:

• For the Stew:
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 pound grass-fed stewing beef, ideally pre-cut into medium chunks
• 1 medium-large onion, chopped
• 2 large cloves chopped garlic
• 5 carrots, chopped in medium chunks
• 1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 1 12-oz bottle of dark stout (such as Guinness)
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 cups vegetable or meat stock (I use homemade beef bone broth)
• 2 whole sprigs of fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dry thyme)
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• For the Mashed Potatoes:
• 2 pounds good mashing potatoes, preferably Russets or Yukon Gold
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
• About 1 cup milk or cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot such as a Dutch Oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the meat in the oil, in small batches. (Pat the meat dry with paper towel first, otherwise it will not brown well). Once the meat is deeply browned (about 5 minutes on each side), remove it from the pot and put it aside.

2. In the same pot that the meat browned in, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and carrots, cooking for about 6 minutes or until they begin to brown. If you need to, add a little glug of oil. Add the flour, salt, and pepper and stir it in well.

3. In a little bowl, stir some of the stock into the tomato paste, to dissolve it a bit. Pour the liquified tomato paste along with the rest of the stock into the pot. Add the remaining ingredients: beer, thyme sprigs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the meat and juices back into the pot as well. Bring the whole thing to a simmer, and then place the lid on the pot and put it in a 325F oven for 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender and the sauce thickened. Taste the stew and season with a little more salt and pepper if needed.

4. Shortly before the stew comes out of the oven, prepare the mashed potatoes. Peel, rinse, and chop the potatoes into quarters. Cover by 2 inches in a large pot of water and cook over medium-high heat for about 20 to 30 minutes, until they're very tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot, placing it over low heat. Add the milk and butter and using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they're creamy. If needed, add a little more milk or cream to get the consistency you like. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Let the stew cool and settle for a few minutes, then ladle generously on top of a plate mashed potatoes.

Yield: 4 servings

I've seen some of the chefs on FoodNetwork and other cooking shows use beer or stout but have never tried that but the above looks good.

Hi Financialgrl,

That recipe really looks delicious and I will be trying it too.

I have traveled abroad for many, many years, and have seen the use of many types of stouts, in British and Irish cuisines.

I prepare my Corned beef and cabbage with Guinness stout in the liquid. Adds a delicious flavor to it, and also use Guinness in my stews and sometimes also in my soups too. BTW Corned beef & cabbage is a NY Irish American dish, created in NY by Irish Immigrants.

Now Guinness Stout is a wonderful full bodied beer, but some say an acquired taste....but we love it warm or ice cold and have been drinking and adding it to recipes for many years.

I made this one today. I had been looking for a recipe after I had it at a local restaurant called McGillicuddy's. I added carrots and we had mashed potatoes, roasted brussell sprouts and salad. It was delicious! Here is the link.

1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups beef stock
3 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Serves / Yields

3-4 lbs.

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pour Guinness into bowl and set aside so beer flattens. Rub roast with English Prime Rib Rub seasoning. In large non- stick pan over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Sear roast on each side until browned. Immediately remove meat from pan and set in large roasting pan. Coarsely chop onions and add to pan along with garlic. Add stock. Roast in preheated oven 1 hour. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and add Guinness. Liquid level should be at least halfway up side of roast. Roast an additional 2 hours, check liquid level periodically and add water if needed. If adding vegetables while roast cooks, add during last 45 minutes. After 3 hours, roast should be fork-tender. Transfer roast onto warm platter. Place roasting pan on stove top, on high, stirring juices constantly. Make a slurry by combining water and cornstarch. Gradually add to juice until mixture thickens. Cook 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve over meat and vegetables.

I knew you love mashed potatoes so I was waiting for you to admit that.

Got tired of waiting so I posted a recipe with mashed potatoes, and knew that would entice you to say you love mashed potatoes.

"Perhaps I should also give psychic readings on the side.

I will post and reply advise as soon as I made this spectacular looking delicious British Pub style dish .

I plan on making it one day this week..... God willing.

It certainly looks delicious!

I made the recipe I posted above for Sunday evening dinner and served guests.

I doubled the recipe since I had quite a few to serve.

It was so delicious, very tender and extremely tasteful.

Quite a few guests asked for the recipe, and also loved it.

I served it with onion cheese scones I also baked.

Also served a Greek salad on the side, with full bodied red bardot french wine, and sparkling water.

The Beef and Stout over Mashed Potatoes Recipe is without a doubt definitely a keeper, and now I am glad I posted it.

RespectLife — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 14:16:01 GMT

Yes it is a keeper!

I made it Saturday...Adore, we musta been thinking alike this weekend!

It was incredibly tender! I took a sip of the stout...Wowza! I was a little nervous with the taste but it cooked perfectly into the stew and just blended ideally with the other ingredients. I got my meat at the butcher's and it was a great quality stew beef. I didn't change a thing....and would make it exactly as written again...and again!

This makes a good size stew. I made Mom a big plate and still have left overs for tonight.

Loved it! Thanks so much for posting.
