Beef in Guinness
submitted by: High Lord Tolkien
You ever order a meal in a restruant and it smells and tastes so good but you think there's probably too many weird steps that are beyond your cooking skills before you could duplicate it?
Check this out:
2lbs of beef (I use the pre-cutup stew beef)
2 Large onions
6 medium carrots
2 tbsp of flour
some butter or oil (i just toss some in)
1 cup of Guinness and water mixed
(serves 4)
Toss beef in flour and brown.
Remove beef and fry onions gently until transparent (10 minutes for my stove)
Return beef and add carrots and liquid
Bring to boil, reduce heat to very gentle simmer and cook for 1 1/2 -2 hours
Check that the dish does not dry out, adding more liquid if needed (water not Guinness!)
Sprinkle with chopped parsly (which I never do) and server with plainly boiled potatoes.
Serves 4 but I'm probably going to eat the whole thing by myself tonight!
(no, but I bet I could if I wanted!!
