Guinness® Wagyu Beef Stew Recipe

Guinness® Wagyu Beef Stew Recipe Instructions

Ingredients

• 2.5 lbs wagyu beef stew meat
• 4 tbspn clarified butter
• 1 large chopped Valencia white onion (or sweet onion)
• 3 raw strips of bacon, chopped into 1/4 inch strips
• 2 tbspn tomato paste
• 2 tbspn all purpose flour
• 1 11.2 oz Guinness Extra Stout beer
• 3 cups of beef stock
• 6 small yellow potatoes, washed, peeled and uncut
• 1 tspn dried marjoram
• ½ tspn dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Your favorite hearty bread

Directions

1. Place the clarified butter in a hot pot and melt it on medium-high heat. Saute the Wagyu beef in the melted butter until the meat is browned evenly, before removing it from the pot. Leave any drippings or fond intact.
2. Add the onions, bacon, tomato paste and flour to the fond, mixing regularly to prevent the onions from burning. After around 3-5 minutes, the onions should start to crystallize. Now reduce the heat to a simmer and add the Guinness® and beef stock (do so carefully to avoid splash-backs or flare-ups). Continue stirring until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Replace the cooked beef chunks in the pot, also adding the peeled potatoes, marjoram, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste, then cover and let simmer for 2-3 hours. The stew should be ready when the beef tears easily apart with a fork.
4. Serve with your choice of hearty bread.
