This stew has a great flavor, don't be afraid to use Guiness. It will not be bitter, even if you omit the sugar like I did. I used only one pot: rendered the bacon-removed it; dredged 3.75 lbs. beef in flour (with salt and pepper) browned it-removed it; cooked the onions and garlic; deglazed with Guiness; added 26 oz. of beef stock (instead of chicken stock) tomato paste, thyme, and vegetables; put the beef and bacon back in; simmered for 2 hours and then used a gravy separator and some corn starch to thicken the gravy (made 4.5 cups gravy). Go easy on the salt, there is enough in the beef stock. Served it just like in the picture!

We have all decided this is a top 3 family recipe. From my 2 to 15-year-old, everyone inhales this. I make no changes bc it's perfect as is. I make the french bread rolls to die for (also on this site). Trust me, you'll want rolls to soak up every bit of this delicious gravy. So amazingly good and so easy to make a ring with the potatoes. My kids love the presentation as much as the meal.

Absolutely delicious. I served it to my family with Irresistible Irish Soda Bread from this site and my toddler and husband gobbled it all up. Next time I make this, however, I will be sure to serve over potatoes or Colcannon as this only made enough for one meal for my 4 person family. Also, my 7-year-old turned her little nose up at it because of the intensity of flavor - which I think could have been dodged had I served it over mashed potatoes. We enjoyed it (except the 7 year old) but afterward decided that since it's such a very flavorful stew, almost like a gravy, some sort of mashed potato accompaniment really is a must. Another thought: I did use beef stock instead of chicken (beef is what I had on hand) and I wonder if using the chicken stock could have dialed down the strength of the stew. Going to go that way next time.

Thought it was fantastic. Cooked it in my dutch oven. Added turnips to the mix. It was a big hit!!

I made this recipe for a family Christmas party using smoked, overly cooked (i.e. DRIED OUT!)leftover brisket. I was hoping the cooking slow and low in the Guinness would tenderize and moisten the brisket. It turned out FANTASTIC and there were NO leftovers, sorry to say! LOL! I made it the next day for my family, again using this overcooked, smoked brisket and it turned out just as great! THIS is DEFINITELY a keeper!! (I didn't use any sugar. That's the only adjustment I made, except for the dried out meat I used!) A GREAT way to use up meat that turned out too dry and tough! Thanks for this recipe, Chef John!!

My family all loved this stew. My husband is an ok, but not great cook and doesn't really care what he eats. I asked him to make this recipe since I was busy and it seemed easy. When he sat down to eat, he actually looked surprised and said "THIS is what I think of when I think of stew". That is now a staple in our house. Its rich and really flavorful and easy to make.

Great recipe! I used beef broth instead of chicken and we loved this stew. Many stews seem to lack a bit in flavor but not this one. We had it with mashed potatoes. I will definitely be keeping a supply of Guinness on hand just for this stew. Thanks Chef John! I do love your recipes!
03/18/2014
WOW! This was amazing! I made it for St. Patty's Day yesterday served with green beer! Hubby said this is the best Irish dish! I doubled the recipe just so we can have left overs and followed it to a 'T' except I didn't measure out the s&p, just generously seasoned the meat with both prior to browning. I also added diced mushrooms and thickened it up a little with flour whisked with water. Served over garlicky red mashed potatoes (see pic) and with the Irish Brown Bread from this site. Even my daughters raved about it! Personally I thought it needed a little more salt so next time may try it with beef stock instead. Love Chef John's recipes!!! :o]

Made his last night for friends, cooked everything in my moms 50 year old cast iron Dutch oven, started on the stove then moved it into the oven on 300 then 250 for three hours. Paired with a nice Cabernet sav , some irish soda bread, some champs (mashed potatoe w butter and scallions) and followed with Eton Mess and a Warm Hug hot chocolate w irish liquor ) some irish music in background, we could've been there. Cooked for 10, and 8 of us left, not a spoonful left as everyone had heaping seconds.

I first tried this at a pub in Ireland and I fell in love with it. I just had to find a recipie and make it for myself. This taste EXACTLY like the one i had in Ireland. Absolutely amazing!!!
11/17/2014
Excellent! Used beef round instead of chuck. Used a bit more carrot and celery. Used 2 tsp dried thyme. Used leeks instead of onion. Used 1 pot only - did bacon, removed. Did beef removed. Did leeks/garlic, then added everything else back in. Put about 6 TBS flour and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper in ziplock bag and shook meat in it to coat, then browned. Took about 1.5 hrs to cook or less covered (used cast iron dutch oven), then uncovered for the 15-20 min. It is one of our favorites!
02/11/2014
This smelled amazing as it was cooking. I dissolved about a tablespoon of flour into some of the cooking liquid and added it back into the pot to help thicken it up. The taste was a little more bitter than I expected, but not in an overpowering way. It was fabulous with the garlic mashed potatoes I made. Not sure how it will be on its own, but I'll find out when I eat the leftovers tomorrow.
03/06/2014
Absolutely Love this stew. My husband told me to never make another kind of stew ever again. The flavors are so robust and served over mashed potatoes makes it such a hearty meal on a cold evening.

I've been looking for a good stew recipe for many years and after trying about five or six different recipes from this website alone I was ready to give up. My teenage son has always told me he does not like stew but I was determined to find one that we could all enjoy. This one sounded interesting with dark beer in the ingredient so I thought I would try it. I couldn't find Guinness so I purchased another dark beer. One other change was that I used tomato sauce since I had no tomato paste. After cooking the bacon and browning the beef I put everything in a crock pot for six hours on low. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this stew turned out and my son enjoyed it as well! This will be my go to stew recipe! Yum!
10/07/2014
Made this stew last night and served it with mashed potatoes. The family LOVED it. I have been making beef stew for years, and this was the best yet. The flavors are delicious and I especially like that it does not require flour or cornstarch as a thickener. Chef John, thank you for sharing this recipe, it is all that you described and definitely a keeper.
06/14/2014
I just got back from Ireland where I had Guinness stew. I reviewed lots of recipes and picked this. It is DELICIOUS!!!!! Next time, though, I will use 2/3 of the meat and more veggies. I cut up some potatoes to add to it versus mashed, but they and the celery dissolved into the stew by the end. Next time, a little less meat and more veggies. I will put the chopped celery and potatoes in later in the stewing process. Flavor is unbeatable.
12/08/2013
This was a great cold weather food with a great rich taste. I substituted beef stock for chicken stock. I think this gave the recipe a much deeper flavor. Left overs reheated the next day were even better. Football crowd is already requesting this for next weekend again.
08/05/2014
This was very good. I did not have any Tomato Paste. I added 1/3 cup of Ketchup (cringe) and did not add the sugar. Came out great. I used a 11.? ounce bottle of Guinness that was in the back of the fridge! Chef John comes through again. Served with mashed potatoes and green beans. The men in my house were happy!
01/04/2015
Loved this recipe!!! I did make some slight changes only because I wanted more veggies. As well as what the recipe called for, I added a few parsnips and some turnip. I also added a bit more garlic (it always mellows) and only had a bottle of Guiness (a little less than what was called for). To lighten the carb load, I served over a mixture of 1/2,potatoes & 1/2 cauliflower mashed together....nobody knew the difference!!! Yummy!! Can't wait to make this again!!
12/24/2014
This stew is the most delicious I have ever tried. I made it for our annual family cookie making gathering! Everyone came back for seconds, my son-in-law had 3 helpings! I doubled the recipe, used dried thyme. This recipe is a definite keeper. The mashed potatoes is a great way to serve it.
04/01/2014
I made this stew over mashed potatoes and it was THE BEST I've ever tasted. It's simple, yet rich and savory. Perfect for a rainy night. Pure comfort food. I'd give it TEN stars if I could. Amazing.
12/16/2013
I was hesitant to make this because I hate Guinness, but I'm SO glad I took a chance...It turned out amazing! Both my husband and I loved it. I planned to follow the recipe exactly. However, my son felt like being a handful while I was cooking, so I accidentally left out one (of the two) onions...still turned out great! Used my dutch oven. Will be making again soon!
05/03/2014
Delicious!! I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. I will say that the whole fresh thyme sprigs were a waste of money. Yes, the stems were easy enough to remove but all the leaves stayed in the stew. I would use dried next time as I always have it on hand. I really don't know what I could have added or substituted to make this any better.
07/20/2014
I don't normally rate foods, but this was probably the best thing I've ever fixed. I'm doing weight watchers and this was fairly easy to calculate (for points). The meat was extremely tender and I used Guinness Extra Stout. Man this was good...and smelling it cook for over 2 hours just makes you want it more. Awesome, awesome recipe! Thanks!
12/24/2013
I think it was awfully good! (I followed the original recipe conscientiously and precisely!) My only dissatisfaction was that I (and at least part of my family) found it to be salty. I can see where I can reduce the salt: in the original meat preparation; after adding onions... The bacon fat called for in the intial searing is great, but I do think it's a source of salty flavor. I'll stick with that, and cut the other salt sources. This one IS a KEEPER!
07/30/2014
Wonderful recipe! I followed the video instructions, it was super easy to make and turned out great. I added just a little bit of cayenne at the end and found it really stepped it up a notch. This will now be my go to stew recipe.
10/09/2014
Awesome - very easy to make and received rave reviews from my husband and another couple. I threw it together, put it in the dutch oven and simmered it for 3 hours. It has delicious flavor. I didn't get to eat any of the left overs as they were "called" by husband. Serve it with yukon gold mashed potatoes. I added beef bones to the pot and took them out b4 serving.
03/18/2014
My fiance ate 2 big platefuls with mashed potatoes for St. Patrick's Day. Rich, warm comfort food for this still-freezing March! Froze the leftovers and I know they'll be even better later! Followed recipe as written and it was wonderful.
02/10/2015
I can't wait to make this stew the right way! Here's the deal -- I messed the recipe up so bad that I was forced to drain off the chicken and Guinness broth and rinse the bacon, beef and vegetables. (Don't ask…just chalk it up to being new in the kitchen). But this still turned out to be a 5 Star meal. It was so good that my wife requested we make it the next weekend and invite her boss over to try it! So if I make it correct the first time, this should be a three star Michelin Restaurant Guide recipe. I'm so glad we have leftovers!
07/03/2014
This was very good! Even though the stove was on low, the liquid cooked very low. I had to add a lot more chicken stock periodically. The beef was so tender it fell apart when chewing. Very good recipe.
03/13/2015
Love this stew! I've made it many times now and I can't make regular beef stew anymore, it's just not the same! The only thing I did different is I used dried thyme instead of a sprig, as I didn't have any on hand. Also, I toss the meat in a ziplock bag and coat it in flour before cooking. I feel that helps to thicken the stew. I love the addition of baccon, gives off such a nice flavor. This is currently cooking on my stove as I type this, actually. We're having people over for an Irish themed night since St Patty's is right around the corner and I can't wait for everyone to try it!! Thanks for the great recipe! (Dec 2015) Just wanted to come back and say everyone loved it! They all agreed that I have to make it every year now. I'm ok with that ;)
11/25/2014
I did not care for this recipe. It tastes nothing like any guiness stew i've ever eaten. I'm always looking for a new recipe on here but this one is my first (1 star)
09/20/2014
This was really good and I'm not even a stew person. It had me at beer. The beer does it for sure. I needed to add some cornstarch to thicken it up some more to my liking but other than that I followed to a T.
03/18/2014
Sorry, I used the advice of some of the others and used beef stock, instead of chicken. This was so absolutely delish!! I was looking forward to leftovers this morning but my husband beat me to them and took it to work! Anyone rating this one star just didn't do it right.
01/25/2016
This is a simple recipe that comes together easily and tastes fantastic. I have made it twice, once with Guinness, and the second time with Great Lakes Brewing Co. Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. Even though I love Guinness, the Ed Fitz is even better, in my opinion. The only other change I made was to add mushrooms to the stew, just because I like them, lol! This is now my go to stew recipe, and will be made often. I do suggest that you take Chef John's advice and add some cayenne to the stew; it adds a nice zing.
12/30/2014
Great recipe! I used Murphy's Stout and carrots from our garden. Did it in my Dutch Oven and served it over the leftover mashed potatoes from our holiday dinner. Huge hit. Kids cleaned their bowls and hubs had two! I will definitely make it again.
01/19/2014
Good stew! I used low sodium beef broth and did add a few potatoes. I would have given it 5 stars except I would prefer it was a bit thicker. Great flavor!
12/11/2013
I have made this recipe twice as is and it is already a family favorite. Really delicious!
02/12/2014
Had to change some measurements because I didn't have correct amounts on hand: I didn't quite cover my veggies (added turnips) with chicken broth, so used 2 11 ounce bottles of Guinness, didn't have fresh thyme so I used a teaspoon of ground instead, added a full 6 oz can of tomato paste (what am I going to do with a leftover 4 oz?) and then added a teaspoon of turmeric for good measure. It all cooked down quite nicely, no need to add flour to thicken, I'm guessing maybe from some of the starches released from the turnips? Served it with cheesy green onion mashed potatoes. My husband doesn't like beef stew in general and says he really liked this, so this recipe is a keeper.
03/19/2015
First attempt to make this stew and it was awesome! Had a St Patrick's day dinner for my husband and it was a hit! Served with Diana ' s colcannon, amazingly easy Irish soda bread and corned beef with cabbage. This will be the new St Patrick's day meal!
03/24/2014
WOW!! I made this for my husband & I on St. Patrick's Day and I agree, Guinness surely makes that toasty malt flavor addition a delight to the salivary glands :) I did thicken the sauce a bit with cornstarch at the end of cooking as it was still too thin for me. My husband raved about it & doesn't want to wait for another St. Patrick's Day to come around before enjoying it again:) Neither do I---thank you so much, Chef John!!
09/22/2017
No substitutions, just floured the stewing beef.
03/17/2014
Simply amazing! One of the best meals I've had in a long time.
03/18/2015
Wow! This is a great recipe. So after reading the wonderful reviews, I decided to make a larger batch if it really was that good and so there would be leftovers. I used 2 Chuck roasts for a total of 4.5 lbs. of meat. I used beef stock instead of chicken stock, 3/4 tsp. dried Thyme instead of fresh sprigs, doubled the Guiness Stout, and pretty much doubled everything else as well. I did use a couple Tbs. of flour, mixed with the liquid to thicken. I give this 5 stars because it is delicious and my husband gave it a thumbs up, especially when I didn't feed him Corned Beef and cabbage on St. Pats day like I usually do!:-) The flavor of this rich gravy reminded me of a Beef Burgundy dish that my mother used to make for our family while growing up. The next time I make it I think the meat should be cut in smaller 1" chunks. I found the meat not to be quite as tender as I like after 3 hours of cooking. (I'm used to cooking this cut of meat in the crockpot, where it gets really tender.) I would probably thicken it a little more as well. Serving this over mashed potatoes was wonderful. Definitely a keeper!
11/24/2014
Made this stew along with Irish soda bread- great combination! Recipe was easy to follow and it gave the house a good smell as it simmered all afternoon. Guinness adds a good flavor to build on. I didn't change anything and was quite pleased with the outcome. I'll be making this again... and again... and again!
03/17/2020
I have made this stew every year on St. paddy's day for the past 5 years, and it never disappoints. If you want the best stew you've ever eaten, follow this recipe as it's written. Please don't make the mistake of others and add ingredients, use beef broth instead of chicken, or use corn starch to thicken. None of that is necessary. Just follow the recipe and the flavor will kick you on the tongue. Enjoy!
02/26/2015
I made this Guinness beef stew exactly as the recipe says. I used Guinness Draught for the beer. I served it over garlic mashed potatoes. It was delicious! I have some picky eaters in my family and surprisingly everyone loved it. I'll definitely be making this again.
11/18/2014
I made it for a dinner party and I followed the recipe exactly. It was easily the best stew I have ever had. This is going to be my new go to winter meal.
10/31/2014
OK, I have been using allrecipies.com for as long as I can remember. I have never left a review on anything good or bad. My husbands favorite thing for me to cook is stew, but I never found anything that we all felt was THE STEW until now. This is AMAZING. Also, let me say, I am feeding a VERY finicky husband, a even MORE finicky 9 yr old, a 6 yr old and a 5 yr old. Each of whom LOVED this. The only thing diff I did was add more veggies, coat the meat in flour before I browned it, I couldn't find Guinness so I used some other dark beer, (it was a pint and 6 oz, used it all) 2 cans off beef broth, and dried thyme instead of fresh. I also made as another poster suggested the Irish soda bread from this site...and put the stew over chunks of that in bowls. Again, to die for. Thank you SO MUCH for this recipe, my 4 yr long search for "THE STEW" is over!!
03/15/2015
I am not a lover of stew, but I make it because my husband is. Because of that, I didn't expect much from this recipe. I used beef broth instead of chicken and I had vegetable juice (V8) so I used 1+1/2 cups of that for the tomato paste. Cooked this in a crock-pot 6ish hours on high and much to my surprise, it really did turn out well. I even went back for a second bowl. Oh yes, my husband also enjoyed a second bowl.
08/20/2014
I made this recipe exactly as shown. It smelled so good and tasted wonderful! This recipe is definitely a keeper. It was eaten so quickly and I've already been asked to make more! Thank you Chef John!
03/18/2015
I made it with wild goat meat and it was amazing. The next time, I am going to minimize the use of the bacon fat and see if it is close to as good.
11/21/2014
This stew is FANTASTIC! I threw in a couple extra slices of bacon, used a Guinness Extra Stout and substituted my homemade beef bone broth for the chicken broth. I made Paula Deen's garlic mashed potatoes and the combination is delicious.
01/18/2015
Awesome recipe! Thank you Chef John....you've done it again!
02/28/2015
This recipe was awesome! I followed precisely with the exception of thyme, which two grocery stores didn't have in stock. I substituted with dried oregano & basil. This is definitely going to be a regular favorite in my house. When I make it again I'll try thyme if it's available. Big thumbs up Chef John!
10/07/2018
I omitted the celery and used real bacon bits to cut down on the fat and also added frozen green peas. This stew is full of flavour!
12/20/2018
Best beef stew I've ever had. So rich and perfectly balanced. Added potatoes in as well after about 20 minutes. I didn't cook the whole 2 hours, I did 1.5 plus the reducing at the end due to impatient children and it still came out perfect.
11/10/2013
My husband and I love this recipe! Followed exactly and would not change a thing. Can't wait for the leftovers!
11/16/2014
Very hardy stew perfect for a cool evening. The use of Guinness was very interesting but the flavor was certainly enhanced by this dark beer. Will definitely add this to the repeat list!!!!
01/10/2014
Very nice dish. But what is a stew without potatoes? lets make it a real Irish American dish. That is all I added. I do like the Turnip idea, or Parsnips, maybe next time. Crusty bread and this stew is a winner.
03/15/2015
This smelled great while it was cooking, but I found the broth too thin and the flavor too salty for my taste. I did substitute beef broth for the chicken broth, maybe that's saltier? I'll definitely try it again, it's a great and hearty stew that really fills you up! But next time I'll cut down on the salt and for that last 20 mins of cooking I'll stir in a cornstarch/water mixture to help thicken it up. The stew went really well with a basic beer bread.
03/07/2015
This is the best stew ever, my husband loved every bite. If you want it to be a bit thicker of a stew add 3 tbsp of flower throughly mixed into 1 cup of water, make sure there are no clumps, add this mixture to the stew and stir it in. It makes the stew a bit thicker and even more delicious!
03/17/2015
This was EXCELLENT,despite my errors. I didn't have bacon, so used bacon grease to brown the meat and vegies, then forgot the sugar. The sugar wasn't needed, though, so it was ok. I even had to add another 1/2 can of Guinness because I cooked it so long it thickened too much. This is a top-of-the list recipe for me now!
03/17/2020
One of the most delicious stews I ever tasted. Definitely the best one I ever made. Because it's a beef dish, I was puzzled that the recipe called for chicken broth. But I tamped down my urge to substitute beef broth and stuck with the recipe. Trust it! The stew comes and beefy, flavorful and thoroughly fantastic.
05/25/2017
It was ok. Probably won't make again though.
01/25/2015
Delicious. Time consuming to prepare, but worth the effort. I never knew Guinness would give such a wonderful flavor to a stew, but it really does. I have made it multiple times and served it over mashed potatoes as suggested. Perfect!
10/23/2014
This sparked my interest because my husband Loves Guinness. So easy to follow added my own twist with a little beef stock because I found it was a little to thick for me. But this is amazing!!! Perfect with Mash
09/10/2017
Really, really good! The meat was so tender and flavorful. At the very end I added some flour to the broth to thicken the stew but otherwise no changes. Will definitely make again!
04/01/2014
I had leftover uncooked stir-fry beef and Guinness from a party, and made (something close to) this with them. It was fantastic! My other changes (due to ingredients available) were +zucchini, +russet potato, +diced tomatoes, -thyme, -tomato paste, -sugar. It makes a thick, tasty stew.
01/26/2015
Delicious! I made a couple of changes to the recipe: I used bottom round roast and beef stock instead of chicken, and added two cubed potatoes. I will definitely make this again.
09/27/2014
Absolutely excellent.
01/06/2014
Delicious! I made this tonight, and I am very glad i did. I was up until 2am checking out your videos. I think I'm addicted. I had a blasty blast. My husband loved this stew. He thinks it's his favorite now.
12/20/2014
This will be the firehall dinner tonight. WITH the Guinness as I'm aware the ETOH cooks out. The maltiness will be AMAZING as I can tell already. Cooked as directed, but I added a packet of onion soup mix in addition. I will make "smashed" potatoes as well in trying to keep with the "peasant" or "home style" of cooking it.
10/30/2018
I just can't put into words how savory and delicious this is! Total comfort food, especially for the fall season. This recipe is a keeper! Once again, thank you Chef John, another great recipe!
11/08/2019
This beef stew had a wonderful taste, with great depth of flavor.
10/26/2019
Absolutely delicious! Added some mushrooms to the other veggies and served it in a sourdough bread bowl vs over mashed potatoes. This will be a staple on our fall camping trips!
11/05/2013
I used beef broth instead of chicken because that's all i had and it was still great!
01/24/2020
Made exactly as stated. It was outstanding. I didn't do the potatoes. I crushed crackers instead. I've been using this app for years and this is my first review due to the fact this is the best tasting beef stew I've ever had
03/20/2015
I wish I would've taken a photo, but it was gone so fast that I couldn't! Hands down the best recipe I have tried on here yet! I went by the recipe as closely as I could. I substituted dried thyme for the thyme sprigs. Also substituted a brown ale for the Guiness Stout, that's all my local shop had available in a single bottle or can. But, it all came together great. I did the first steps of cooking the bacon through deglazing the pan, then threw it all in the crock pot on high for 5 hours. Delicious!
09/15/2017
I made this pretty much exactly as written (only difference was I seasoned meat with garlic salt, only used one onion and I think I used a little more chicken stock). This is seriously amazing and I'm not a big cooker so definitely easy enough to make. Meat and carrots were fork tender and juice was awesome mixed with mashed potatoes. If you have trouble getting the juice to thicken let it boil 5-10 minutes then turn off the burner and let it sit a minute. I noticed it had thickened a lot when we went back for seconds.
03/21/2022
Terrific recipe - thanks! I made a few small changes, just because. I was doubling the recipe for St. Paddy's Day company. Used more than double the tomato (about 1 1/2 c of my wife's frozen tomato sauce from our own tomatoes from the garden last year). Used about 3 cups our own very good broth from the Christmas turkey. I tossed the beef in about 1/4 c of flour before browning it, and used Montreal Steak Spice instead of salt and pepper. Added a few cremini sliced mushrooms at the end - fried them first to get rid of most of the moisture. Oh, one more thing - I didn't double the Guinness because I had to sample half of one of the cans to make sure it would be suitable!
03/19/2015
Made as. directed in my cast iron. Dutch oven. It was delicious. If you don't have time to monitor it, I'm sure you could toss all the seared ingredients and the veggies, broth and tomato paste into a slow cooker and cook for 4 hours or so on low. I served it with Irish champ. Great.
03/18/2015
I really enjoyed this stew for St. Patrick's Day! A lot quicker and easier than I imagined. Since I was only cooking for two, I had to cut the recipe in half, which made me nervous, but it turned out just right! My stew didn't thicken naturally as much as I thought it would, but regardless it was fine with me. I had some tri-color carrots on hand, so I added a few yellow ones for extra color. This recipe is already hearty, but I threw in some chopped mushrooms I had on hand at the last few mins of cooking to stretch out the recipe a bit more. This recipe goes a very long way, even after cutting it in half. There is still a lot of leftovers to last me for the rest of the week! I served it on top of some cauliflower & chive "mashed potatoes". I will definitely make this again!
11/26/2014
Was wonderrul
12/07/2014
Loved it! I only used 2 pounds of beef and I added turnips to the stew.
09/27/2014
Flavor was good but beef was tough. It was most likely the cut of beef but I bought what was stated in the recipe.
10/03/2019
I have been making this for several years now. It is a fantastic recipe!!! It is typically the meal at the top of the request list for special events/holidays. Chef Johns recipes are all extremely good but this one is in the top 3 for sure. Make it!!
03/23/2015

Wow, this is good. I've made it according to the recipe several times and my family and friends have all loved it. A great excuse...I mean reason to buy a 6 pack of Guinness.

Yes chef John, I am really select of what I like and this is good! I would have given it 5 stars, but chicken stock? is a no no - need to use good and strong beef stock - home-made of course!

A very flavorful stew.

Made this for St. Patrick's Day this year and it was AMAZING. Followed recipe except for the salt and pepper measurements. I don't usually measure when seasoning with them. Just seasoned the meat generously and added a bit of salt with the onions when it said to. Did not add any at the end. Served it with some quick generic mashed potatoes and a Guinness of course. My roommates are already demanding I make it again next weekend, which I may just do, because there were no leftovers.

I started making this years back after I was turned onto Chef John... I haven't made another beef stew since... NEVER A DISAPPOINTMENT. I could eat this everyday and I live in Hawaii :)

We didn't use Guiness, but a home town favorite, Sprecher Bavarian! It was wonderful and my kids really enjoyed it, too.

I tried this recipe and it was very easy to make and extremely delicious. I would definitely make it again. My family really enjoyed it as well. Great for a cold night as it will warm you up and fill you up.

Made it pretty close to the recipe. To be honest, I don't measure when cooking. Had a Shiner Bock in the fridge so I just used that instead of Guinness. Will definitely add this to our regular rotation!
