Boozy Beer Beef Stew Recipe That’ll Feed Your Belly And Warm Your Soul

Beer adds such a bold and wondrous flavor to foods. Don’t worry, all the alcohol cooks off during the simmering process.

Check out what my pals over at TWP had to say about this recipe:

“This is a scrumptious, simple beef stew recipe that’s perfect for warming your soul after a long week of feeding cattle and horses in the snow.”

I haven’t fed any cattle or horses in the snow but some of you have and this is the perfect stew to warm your bones up with.

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons Bertolli Olive Oil

1 Tablespoon Land O Lakes Butter

2 pounds Stew Meat

1 whole Medium Onion, Diced

3 cloves Garlic, Minced

1 can (12 Oz. Size) Beer

4 cups College Inn Beef Stock (or 4 Cups Water + 4 Beef Bouillon Cubes)

2 cups Water (additional, If Needed)

1 Tablespoon Heinz Worcestershire Sauce

2 Tablespoons Hunt’s Tomato Paste

1/2 teaspoon McCormick Paprika

1/2 teaspoon Morton Kosher Salt

Freshly Ground Black Pepper

1-1/2 teaspoon Domino Sugar

4 whole Carrots, Washed, Unpeeled, And Roughly Sliced

4 whole New Potatoes, Quartered

Minced Parsley (optional)

Instructions

Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown meat in two batches, setting aside on a plate when brown. Cut pieces in half. Set aside.

Add diced onions to the pot. Stir and cook for two or three minutes until softened, then add garlic for another minute. Pour in beer and beef stock, then add Worcestershire, tomato paste, paprika, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add beef back into the pot. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

*UPDATE: The liquid should cook down to a thicker state. If it gets too thick/reduces too much, add additional water as needed.

Add carrots and potatoes, then cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes. (If stew gets dry, just add a cup of hot water at a time to replenish the liquid.) Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Serve in bowls next to crusty French bread. Sprinkle with minced parsley, if desired.
