Beef in Guinness
2 servings
150 minutes
Beef in Guinness is a classic dish of European cuisine that reflects the cozy traditions of Irish pub gastronomy. The thick, rich stew with tender meat infused with the aroma of dark ale has a deep flavor with light caramel and malt notes. Slow cooking makes the beef tender, while the combination of onion, carrot, and brown sugar adds natural sweetness. It is served with fluffy mashed potatoes that absorb the gravy's aroma and fresh parsley for a hint of freshness. An ideal dish for a leisurely dinner on a cool evening that warms and satisfies.
