Beef and Guinness (Coopers Stout) Stew

kombiman · 11th June 2008, 2:40 PM

Well, a beautiful day got me in the mood for cooking. Consolation is drinking stout in the arvo!

Went shopping for supplies and got stuck in.

Instant undivided attention from the dog

Got some fresh herbs to compliment the dried ones (herb garden has taken a bashing recently)

Chopped a heap of garlic and two large brown onions. Brown onions in hot pan- in this case a chasseur french oven.

Brown 1.5kg good beef from local butcher, cubed.

Add parsnip, carrot, sweet potato, big dollop of vegemite, stock cube (had run out of liquid stock) fresh and dried herbs, salt and pepper, brown sauce and a couple of hand fulls of celery inc some of the leafy bits!

Add bottle of Coopers Stout

Into oven for 1 and half hours @ 170c

My house smells amazing!

finished pics when its done i guess?

Sounds like a great recipe. And looks great before it went in the oven. If i hadnt just been shopping for dinner tonight i might have joined you in making it.

Well I couldn't go past this, and wow did it turn out amazing.
Bought 2 bottles of coopers stout this evening (one for me, one for the stew).

Here's how it turned out:

Looks damn delicious.

Awesome!!! I might just have to try that. Guinness and Beef, how can it go wrong

. Did you add any water or is it completely Guinness?

O'Malleys Pub in Brisbane does a Guinness Pie, which seems to follow the same recipe but with less veges and a crust

Oh - Guinness is thicker then Coopers Stout, so it would probably wouldn't be as running with the real thing. Looks good though!

Will have to try it!

I used about 500mls of beef stock in mine as well actually.

got this baby going in the slow cooker as we speak. In retrospect, a 750ml bottle of stout was prob a bit much for a slow cooker :P

Saw this on the front page just before I went food shopping

It's in the oven now.

I think this is tomorrows dinner

Winter is the time of the stew

I do mine on the fireplace. It has a hot plate and I let the stew simmer on that for many hours. Between the fire and the smell from the stew the house is very nice by dinner time.

Have not tried a stout in a stew. Generally drink it instead. I use a vegemite and maybe a bit of red wine. A good stew makes wonderfull left overs. The flavours mix very nicely as it ages.

I'm sourcing the ingredients for dinner tonight....

Can anybody shed some light on this 'brown sauce'? I haven't come across it in my culinary endeavours before. Would Worcestershire sauce be a similar thing? ...then again, it could be code for 'stout'.

Cheers,

Stu.
