Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb chuck roast*
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 3 big russet potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 2 big carrots peeled and sliced in big pieces
  • 1 bottle extra stout Guinness beer
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • oil for browning the meat

Instructions

  • Cut beef in about 1 inch size cubes. Chop in roughly, size doesn't matter that much. Heat about 1 teaspoon of oil in the skillet and brown meat in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan. Transfer meat to the crock pot
  • In the same pan saute onions and celery for about 5 minutes. Move to the slow cooker. Deglaze burnt bits with the splash of beer, over medium heat and pour in to the slow cooker.
  • To the meat, add carrots, potatoes, beer and broth. If its not enough broth, add more. You need to slightly cover all the ingredients in the pot.
  • Set on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

Notes

* Chuck roast can be substitute to round rump roast or simply to the stew meat
*I use white onions
*You can add thyme or rosemary to the stew. I didn't add this time because of the beer, it give lots of flavor and i didnt feel like adding more with herbs
