While the weather is more like Spring than Winter……. comfort food is still on the menu…….Guinness Beef Stew!
Nothing is more comforting than a bowl of rich, hearty, beef stew.
Guinness dark stout adds a delicious depth to the flavor of the stew, and a touch of cayenne adds just the right amount of heat. Not super spicy, just warmth. The addition of potatoes and carrots makes this a perfect one pot meal.
I made this on top of the stove……cause I wanted to use my new cast iron dutch oven, but you can toss it in the oven or use a pressure cooker. And we all know that I love a pressure cooker!!
Making a stew to me is labor of love……browning the meat, adding just the right ingredients, and slow simmering……..its love for your senses and your taste buds.
You can make Guinness Beef Stew in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Then during the week, you can have a last minute supper in reserve………especially nice at the holidays when we are all so busy.
Just reheat and add a nice loaf of crusty bread…….can you feel the love????
