Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 large onion
- 3 medium carrot
- 2 stalks celery
- 4 medium potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic
- 12 fluid ounces beer (dark ale or stout preferred)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut it into large chunks, about 2 inches in size.
Peel and dice the onion. Peel and slice the carrots into thick rounds. Dice the celery steaks and quarter the potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef chunks for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Work in batches if necessary and set aside the seared beef.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
In the base of the crock pot, combine the carrots, celery, potatoes, and bay leaves.
Layer the seared beef on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
Pour the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the beef.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the liquid mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
Once done, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Discard the bay leaves.
Serve the Beef N Beer hot as a hearty stew, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or alongside crusty bread for dipping.
