This Guinness Beef Stew is from the Official Guinness Cookbook – it’s the real deal!

Many cultures have a variation on beef stew, always made with ingredients on hand. The French use Burgundy wine to make beef bourguignon. In Hungary, paprika is introduced to the pot for goulash. Belgium has carbonnade   la flamande made with Belgian ale. And Ireland has beef and Guinness stew, a hearty and wholesome dish that will keep you warm and comfortable no matter what the weather throws at you. This stew is a popular pub lunch, and you can travel the country trying different variations at every bar you visit. With meat, veg, potatoes, and Guinness, this is the very definition of a meal in a bowl.
