Whether you make this Irish Beef Stew with Guinness Beer for your St. Patrick’s Day Celebration or just an everyday meal, it’s definitely a must try recipe! With the addition of the Guinness Beer; a dark beer, and red wine, the flavors are rich and delicious!
True story…I’m not a fan of beef, and not a fan of stew…I don’t like Beer and not much of a wine drinker either…and I LOVED this Irish Beef Stew! Serve it with corn bread and you have a meal that will warm your belly!
Doug cooked the stew longer than the original recipe from Simply Recipes, making the meat and vegetables nice and tender and giving the dish a depth of flavors.
