GUINNESS IRISH BEEF STEW

Irish Beef Stew with Guinness Beer (serves 8)

• 
  
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed
• 3 cups Guinness (or stout beer)
• 2 potatoes, peeled and sliced
• 2 potatoes, peeled and quartered
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the beef, beer, sliced potatoes, and quartered potatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
