Hearty and Satisfying Beef Stew with Irish Stout

February 23, 2020 Filed Under: Main Courses with Meat

The beer in this Beef Stew with Irish Stout adds a rich flavor to traditional beef stew.

If you’d like to serve something a little more Irish than Corned Beef and Cabbage for St. Patrick’s Day, this beef stew made with beer may be just the thing. While the Irish would use lamb instead of beef, lamb is usually out of my budget.

But, there is no reason to wait for March 17th to make this fabulous stew. And with 2 1/2 hours of cooking time, the alcohol all burns off leaving a fabulous rich taste that the entire family can enjoy.

Serve this with a hearty bread like the One Hour Whole Wheat Bread, or make it a beer themed meal with Cheddar Beer Bread.

        It does add a nice layer of flavor not found in recipes without it.
