Beef Braised with Guinness
(10-12 generous servings)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
5 pounds stewing beef, cut into large chunks salt and freshly ground pepper to
taste
2 bay leaves
3 onions, sliced thin
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups Guiness beer
2 cups beef stock (or canned low-sodium beef broth)
1 pound peeled baby carrots
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1. Lay beef out in a single layer on a cookie sheet and season generously with
salt and pepper.
2. Heat large dutch oven or other heavy pot. Add oil and just enough beef to
cover the bottom of the pot without crowding. Brown the meat on all sides,
removing the pieces as they are browned, continuing adding and taking out the
meat as it is browned.
3. Remove all the cooked meat from the pot and add onions. Cook until very soft.
4. Add flour and cook until it turns light brown. Add Guinness and an equal
amount of veal stock, mix well to remove any lumps. Return meat to pot, add bay
leaves and carrots and place in a 350 degree oven to braise for about 1 1/2 to 2
hours. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.

great. Could this be done in a slow cooker after browning?
