You don't want your lovely beef tasting like canned beef broth. Chicken broth is a more neutral flavor and blends with the natural taste of the chuck. Thanks!
I've made this recipe a few times now. Both with mashed potatoes and potatoes chunked into the stew and both are absolutely amazing. The are a ton of beef stew recipes on here and this is one of my favorites.
Thank you for this recipe! I am a exchange student in ireland and also want to explore the irish cuisine, and this recipe turned already twice amazing!
Best made the night before Paddies Day, the next morning have a plate of it for breakfast washed down with beer, you'll be set up right then for a days drinking, later that night finish off the stew and head for the big sleep. Lovely.
Just now sitting down to a plate of this stew (which I made today - thanks Chef John!) on a bed of mashed potatoes, with a glass of Guinness and a new song from the Young Dubliners, on this fine St. Patrick's Day evening, March 17, 2024. Happy Guinness New Year, everyone! Slainte!
Hi John this is one of your greats ! I made a double lot for a large family dinner tonight, actually I made it two days ago, so its been maturing and improving in the fridge. It was a huge success with seconds in high demand. One 11 year old grandson announcing ( while tucking into seconds ) that this is what he wanted to eat every day. Making it ahead of time also allowed me to remove the congealed fat from the surface. Thanks for helping make me look good. Keep 'em coming.
This is a great recipe. FYI for people trying it out for the first time: 1. Use a good cut of meat (made a huge difference). 2. Add extra seasoning outside of salt and pepper for better flavour. I used: Bay leaves, oregano, steak spice, beef broth instead of chicken and little extra brown sugar than he recommended and it had an amazing taste. 3. The longer you let simmer (I let mine simmer for closer to 3 hours) the thicker the sauce, turning it into a beautiful gravy with a perfect thick texture. Keep tasting and adjusting as you go 😊
@Scott Murphy I love lamb, but not as popular in America. Oh, I have never been able to get my friends to try black and white pudding either. Love weekend full breakfast
Will John - Did you cook the carrots for the entire time? Seems like they’d overcook. I’d like to try this with a rich, domestic stout ale, just my preference to drink.
Well that was a wonderful family dinner... We just finished dinner and I wasn't the only one who went for seconds; no left overs. Thanks John for another great meal.
This recipe is amazing. I've made it a couple of times now. I use beef stock instead of chicken stock, and the Guinness "Extra Stout" instead of Guinness Draught (The Extra stout in the US is what's considered actual/regular Guinness in Europe) But other than that, amazing.
I am making this as we speak and it looks EXACTLY as the recipe does.....I'm getting ready to do the final reduce and the house smells amazing....OMG.....the family is sniffing and "when is it ready?"
Thank you Food Wishes!!!! 2.4 million subscribers I see why. You are my absolute go to for all culinary advice. My hubby is a happy man because of you.
I made this last night, it was BRILLIANT! I used homemade beef broth not chicken & added yukon potatoes & simple dumplings, after all; I am the cow’s moo of my beef stew. OMFG was it delicious, Thank You Chef John!
I just made this today for St Patty’s day and it came out great! The stew was rich, with a nice depth of flavor from the beer, delicious beefy taste, and simple to make. I served it over mashed potatoes and now my family and I are in foodcoma! Definitely adding this to my recipe book and highly recommend to everyone.
This really is incredible! I was worried it wouldn't thicken up to the point where I like it (just shy of gravy consistency), so I did add flour and butter to the onions before the guinness. Also used a little crushed red pepper. Absolutely delicious, was a big hit.
Thank you. Thank you for food and recipies where someone does not have to do a dance and a spin and touch the nose this way but not that way before winking twice and clapping five times. In case that last sentence was confusing thank you for approachable and uncomplicated food. Thank you for taking basics and turning them into something extraordinary. 😄
This is our fourth of your recipes that we have ate. My fiance made this today after she got home from work. It is so good. Thanks for one of the best recipes of beef stew I have ever tasted. Hope to have some more of your recipes.
I made it! it was absolutely delicious! so comforting! now I need more recipes for the extra Guiness beer, since I dont drink beer and it comes in packs of 4 cans lol.
+Cantetinza17 dont worry. it lasted long in the refrigerator; and the recipe was so good I made it more than one time. also used it for chicken stew, not as good as the meat but still worked. thanks😉
+Cantetinza17 i was going for a "Cuban arroz con pollo" taste (rice and chicken cooked together) we use beer for that but light beer. I did it minus the rice. not that great with this dark beer though. i think its better for meat.
+foodwishes Chef, maybe you can make "Cuban arroz con pollo" sometime. its a staple of Cuban food. Also "arroz imperial"(layers of "arroz con pollo" with layers of mayo and cheese. sooooo good!
I must disagree with you Chef John I've made a similar stew to this every year for Saint Patrick's Day for many years. But you have one step missing in the ingredients. It takes two to three beers. One for the stew in two or three to enjoy while it's simmering. Sláinte
This is the best meal I've ever cooked : ) coming from a non cook, even I made this work. My dad ate it & said it was good. He never eats my food! Thanks.
Made this for dinner tonight and WHOA it was amazing. Wasn't sure I'd like it because of the Guinness, but it added such a wonderful flavor. thanks for the recipe!!!
I tried this recipe today and let me say that I knocked it out of the park. I followed the recipe exactly as described and it worked. I took a little longer to tenderize the meat and to reduce the sauce, and it paid off. Everyone was delighted. Next time I will try it with beef broth instead and se if there’s much of a difference. This is a 10 out of 10.
I scaled this recipe up for 35 guests, I found it impractical to render so much bacon fat so it used a pound of Irish butter and one pack of bacon instead. It felt a bit weird pouring ten cans of Guinness into a 30 litre pot onto 10 kilos of stewing steak. However, I was very pleased with the results and the guests were over the moon. Especially since I served with a ton of colcannon and fresh soda bread (with cheddar rather than butter). Thanks John 😁
Chef John is a very very good teacher& great chef NO JOKE! his blog has hundreds of meals you can make yourself at home made to look easy for anyone who wants to learn from a pro.......
I tried this exactly as Chef John made it and did it again modified as how I read in some of the comments (i.e.-add bay leaf, add beef broth)...sooo much better as Chef John's original recipe. LOVEEEE IT!
All I have to say, at 2:;48 IS "BROWN 25".I made this yesterday and it was superb! I added a demi glace cube (from Chef John's tutorial) which spiked the unctuousness in texture and flavor.
People say I am an explosive cook, probably because most of my food re-textures the ceiling. I suppose this only proves my talents lay in pebble dashing walls. My wife tells me that there is something wrong with my trifles as you don't pour trifle into dessert bowls. But I can honesty say I have never burned water, only the pot it was in. That's nothing compared to what she thinks of my roast dinners, it seems I missed my vocation in life as I'm better suited to working in a crematorium. I can take the criticism, at least my percentage of food poisoning victims is in the low twenties. I feel affronted when someone complains about my cooking and has to rush to the bath room, but the worse part is when they don't quite make the bowl! My mother was a great cook, when she had an explosion at least it was contained within the pressure cooker. Someone once said that my lack of cooking ability was probably genetic, how dare they! I suppose this explains why most of my family are thin. I suppose the zenith of my cooking exploits happened when I was in the Army, the guys were lined up at the latrine and bitterly complained as to the now exhausted supply of toilet rolls. Seems the C.O. agreed since he said the kitchen looked more like a war zone he promptly gave me a seven day holiday in the guardroom saying it would be benefit me. I remember I once reheated some boiled eggs and managed to blow up the microwave. In my career as a cook, these are just minor setbacks, but to be honest, I can't think of any high points. Anyway, back to what's left of the kitchen. Justin.
Juan de Dios Cáceres Moyano I only meant my comment to be humorous, though I much admit I'm not too sure what you are saying to me. In a way it does reflect my journey of culinary cookups. Justin.
Tripled the recipe, and added potatoes into it, ( mashed was too much work ) and we have stew for about a weeks worth of left overs! Great recipe works awesome, I adjusted the celery and carrot count to match more what I wanted visually and this still turned out fantastic. Beer really makes a difference!
I made this last night, it was incredible. The only changes I made were I had a package of sliced mushrooms that I added, I cooked the tomato paste in the onions for a few minutes after the onions were browned, and I did use a little cornstarch slurry at the end just to make the gravy a little thicker. It was fantastic! Thanks Chef John!
Try a 22 oz. Guinness. Guinness in a 22oz is EXTRA stout and a lot better tasting. I never noticed that-until a friend pointed that out to me. I did a taste test and Extra stout is clearly better and more full bodied. The drought in a can is light to say the least. LI bet you'll love it better, Let me know what you think.
(two years later, but just seen your comment), I use the bottles of foreign extra, and I've eaten in the guiness storehouse, there's a video someplace showing a chef from dublin using the foreign extra. but yea you're right the extra is def better for stews th-cam.com/video/tZcFK_mz3E4/w-d-xo.html
I made this for dinner today and, WOW!, it was awesome!!!! Matched with homemade Irish Brown Bread and an Irish Cream Cheesecake from Aldi made for a fun and delicious meal. Thx Chef John!
Beautiful video.Can I actually bring myself to pour a can of Guinness--into a hot pot?As I watched, I was wondering about using Irish soda bread--as a bowl.The mashed potato--looks delicious.
Chef John, the green onion potatoes you made are a very popular Irish side, here we call it 'champ' 😁 great to see this Irish recipe done right! My granny would be happy!
Okay, thanks. Then I can use Urbock, which is only brewed in winter and ist bitter and strong. It's winter here by us now. So, nothing in the way of ccoking this stew!
@Unicorn Bunny Honestly you can get almost the same color with a bit of turmeric. Or you can stretch your saffron powder with turmeric (which most saffron powder sellers do anyway). The entire middle east just choked on their tahdeeg from me saying that, but it's true.
Mesmer ASMR : If you think Saffron spice is ONLY about colour then you don't know about saffron. Its the most expensive spice in the world its around $20.00 per gram. N u think those cheap supplements they sold as saffron is saffron!
Have made this twice with excellent results. Chef John is spot on once again! Only variation I ran into was the simmering time for the beef. It took more than twice as long. about 3 hours using chuck, and 5 hours using eye round. The beef out here is not the best. Going to try the butcher next time. The food markets sell crap anymore.
This is one of my favorites . Mommas having heart surgery tomorrow so I’m making this for her the house smells so good . Thank you for the wonderful recipes ❤
Made this today and it was amazing the beer just added a richness that was that star in the dish. I added pearl onions in mine with green peas and it just made the whole thing pop
Always wonderful. I love this guy! St patty day is coming I searched my favorite guy an of course he never let's me down. Making for my family Sundsy. Thank you
Yeah I've asked this about other recipes, basically sometimes you use chicken broth because it's more of a neutral flavor compared with beef broth. In this recipe, I'm guessing that because the beer already adds a rich, darker flavor, a beef broth would make the end result a bit harsh - notice he added sugar to offset the beer...
Okay so this comment is coming very late only because I've become a famous cook in my area because of your recipes. Your caramel chicken those strange to most has never met with anything but rave reviews. From your rice pilaf to your lasagna if I want to make something new I just look up your recipe. It's as simple as that never been disappointed never not a crowd pleaser never not crave-worthy. I can't thank you enough I really want to come to San Francisco just to watch you cook. You are my hero and if I'm not your number one fan I should be. I think I've made almost all your recipes including the curry peanut butter chicken that I may just made two days ago that I can't say enough of it was so better than restaurant quality what can I say. I am a fan now finally paid the money don't know why I didn't do it sooner thank you for making me the cook I am and for everyone thinking I'm an amazing chef. I stole it all from you! Best food wishes, Cassie Kaz
Get yourself a QUALITY stout for this recipe. Don't just grab guinness because you've heard of it. I recommend a beer like New Holland - The Poet. It's available year round and really elevates this already amazing recipe.
I made this for the first time today! A WONDERFUL St Patrick’s day meal. Served it on colcannon and made your Irish biscuits to with it all. I will definitely make this meal again!
I fell in love with this dish last summer. I would describe it as the best beef stew one has ever eaten... and it might be a a bit wrong, but I like to make some cornbread to go with it... because cornbread is awesome with stews.
I have recently become a fan of your site and have made this recipe twice! My family loved it so much that they asked me to make it again a few days later. Thank you for your easy to follow directions and great recipes!
Wow! We made this today, so good! A couple changes, which is called cooking 🤣, used maple syrup instead of sugar, added chicken bouillon base & added Worcestershire sauce near the end for more flavor. Served with sour cream, onion cream cheese, half n half, buttered mashed red potatoes! Delish!!
I'm currently making this for the second time the first time I had it it was absolutely amazing. Cannot wait until its ready to eat... I love the little bowl of mashed potatoes..
What a phenomenal dish. I made it today for my family and it is by far the best stew I've had or made. I tried to find the green onion mash recipe and couldn't so i aired on the side of caution and used chives for my mash. They were great! Thanks for the awesome recipes. You've helped me feed my family of five and indirectly inspired my nine year old to want to become a chef. Please keep it coming. :)
Possibly my all time favourite video on TH-cam and I’m not kidding. Great recipe, great and delightful instructions, and having cooked this for friends on numerous occasions I can confirm that this recipe is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Try it, like it, subscribe and then share. I’m not affiliated with this channel but omg there is some delicious stuff to discover here because I’ve tried lots of the recipes and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Love this. Thank you Food Wishes X.
...so I just HAD to come back to make a comment. My body is STILL shaking from how amazingly delicious this dish is. Someone said it best in the comments, "do yourself a favor and MAKE THIS DISH!!!" I, however, altered the recipe a bit after watching about 5 other versions of this. In other words, I watched all these different recipes and then chose what I liked in each and combined them all together into my OWN recipe, and let me tell you...DIVINE! I did the bacon as he suggested, (extra bacon cut slightly bigger) but set it off to the side for the wayyyy end. Then the beef which I seasoned (3lbs) 2tbs garlic, 1tsp ginger, 2tsp of salt, but also added the same amount of "supreme tradition steakhouse seasoning," 2tsp, in that same bacon oil. Set aside. Then 1 onion plus 1 green chili, but instead of adding more salt, I smashed up 3 olives and let that salt do the job. Then I poured in the "EXTRA stout" Guinness (1 can). After a few mins I added all the vegetables ( carrots, celery, 8 pitted/dried prunes) plus 2 tbs tomato paste and 2 tbs brown sugar. Then, just to BARELY cover up the top of it all I added some spicy stew beef broth...just enough to cover it all. As MUCH Italian season as you can handle....I probably put about 3tbs....fresh thyme and other herbs of choice then close the pot. Place in your preheated oven for 2.5 - 4hrs. Once you've decided it's simmered and cooked enough, fork tender, THEN toss in the bacon. Enjoy!!

I'm making this now. But I got beef broth and you said chicken. Why chicken broth?
Could you do this in a slow cooker ? Or does it have to be hotter for alcohol ?
@@defentlynothere he prefers chicken because the beef itself is so beefy, that the chicken gives it a better balance..
@@karl787 nope, once ye seal it, you can slow cook iaway
Delicious recipe! I’m going to make my version on my channel th-cam.com/channels/_8K2WM-HBXEAf4sVCwNADA.html?view_as=subscriber please have a look 😃
You don't want your lovely beef tasting like canned beef broth. Chicken broth is a more neutral flavor and blends with the natural taste of the chuck. Thanks!
For over 6 years I’ve been coming back to this classic recipe. Thank you for gracing our home with delicious recipes
Me too ❤❤❤
do yourself a favor & try this recipe. I've been making this for a long time & its truly on of the best!
you were right I made it for dinner last night and it was amazing! it's going in my favorite recipe book
Challenge accepted... three month delay...
what recipe?
@John Gilmore No use Red Bull
made this dish for dinner. my girlfriend loved it so much
I've made this recipe a few times now. Both with mashed potatoes and potatoes chunked into the stew and both are absolutely amazing. The are a ton of beef stew recipes on here and this is one of my favorites.
I made this as a pie filling , i put this in a puff pastry it was on point
That sounds amazing, like a pastie
You are a genius. That is brilliant.
Damn.
I could go for some of that.
Do I need a time machine, or can you invite me over?
Maaaaaate. Thanks for this
Oh yum, thanks for the suggestion. Maybe even topped with a layer of mashed potato would be nice too. 😋
Thank you for this recipe! I am a exchange student in ireland and also want to explore the irish cuisine, and this recipe turned already twice amazing!
Best made the night before Paddies Day, the next morning have a plate of it for breakfast washed down with beer, you'll be set up right then for a days drinking, later that night finish off the stew and head for the big sleep. Lovely.

Hi John this is one of your greats ! I made a double lot for a large family dinner tonight, actually I made it two days ago, so its been maturing and improving in the fridge. It was a huge success with seconds in high demand. One 11 year old grandson announcing ( while tucking into seconds ) that this is what he wanted to eat every day. Making it ahead of time also allowed me to remove the congealed fat from the surface. Thanks for helping make me look good. Keep 'em coming.
Made this today for my dad's 82nd birthday. So delicious. Totally worth the time and effort. A very special experience.
This is a great recipe. FYI for people trying it out for the first time: 1. Use a good cut of meat (made a huge difference). 2. Add extra seasoning outside of salt and pepper for better flavour.

And my recipe also has a little coffee added. I also add about 3 chopped dried apricots instead of the sugar to mitigate any bitterness from the beer.
peachy75019 that’s an awesome idea 👍👏

Will John - Did you cook the carrots for the entire time? Seems like they’d overcook. I’d like to try this with a rich, domestic stout ale, just my preference to drink.
@@dejugulators I add my fully scrubbed and trimmed baby carrots 15 min before eating, about 10 carrots per pound of stew meat.
I tred this 10 years ago...and still my go to dish!
thanks Chef John!
Well that was a wonderful family dinner... We just finished dinner and I wasn't the only one who went for seconds; no left overs. Thanks John for another great meal.
St. Patrick's Day is next month and what to make for dinner is no longer a question. Chef John, you're a life saver!
This recipe is amazing. I've made it a couple of times now. I use beef stock instead of chicken stock, and the Guinness "Extra Stout" instead of Guinness Draught (The Extra stout in the US is what's considered actual/regular Guinness in Europe) But other than that, amazing.
In my personal opinion, this is hands down the best stew recipe around.
Literally just finished making and eating this. It was absolutely incredible! Better than anything my actual Irish mother ever made.
Derek Walsh shade
Lmfao hella tough shade. Thats brutal
Just dropping back in to say that I make this every year now.
@@derek1117 I still make this too! It’s the absolute best.
Cooked this in the weekend and it was a huge hit. Beef was so tender it melted in the mouth. Love your work Chef John!
I made this and it is now my favorite stew in the world. I can't thank you enough. You're the best!

Who uses kale for colcannon?

Last St. Patrick's Day I had an Irish 7 course dinner, a six pack and a boiled potato.

The only changes I made were I had a package of sliced mushrooms that I added, I cooked the tomato paste in the onions for a few minutes after the onions were browned, and I did use a little cornstarch slurry at the end just to make the gravy a little thicker. It was fantastic! Thanks Chef John!
Try a 22 oz. Guinness. Guinness in a 22oz is EXTRA stout and a lot better tasting. I never noticed that-until a friend pointed that out to me. I did a taste test and Extra stout is clearly better and more full bodied. The drought in a can is light to say the least.
LI bet you'll love it better, Let me know what you think.
+theforgetfulbuddha Yeah, I use the stout instead of the draught too.
(two years later, but just seen your comment), I use the bottles of foreign extra, and I've eaten in the guiness storehouse, there's a video someplace showing a chef from dublin using the foreign extra. but yea you're right the extra is def better for stews th-cam.com/video/tZcFK_mz3E4/w-d-xo.html
I made this for dinner today and, WOW!, it was awesome!!!! Matched with homemade Irish Brown Bread and an Irish Cream Cheesecake from Aldi made for a fun and delicious meal. Thx Chef John!
"It smells a bit like a wet leprechaun at this point" XD
All of the smell non of the gold
Thanks Chef. John! As always, your witty humor is as sharp as your flaying knife.
Beautiful video.Can I actually bring myself to pour a can of Guinness--into a hot pot?As I watched, I was wondering about using Irish soda bread--as a bowl.The mashed potato--looks delicious.
Chef John, the green onion potatoes you made are a very popular Irish side, here we call it 'champ' 😁 great to see this Irish recipe done right! My granny would be happy!
I have not seen Guiness beer here in Namibia. I presume that I can use any dark beer, am I right?
I wouldn't use an IPA.
What is that?
It's very bitter beer.
Okay, thanks. Then I can use Urbock, which is only brewed in winter and ist bitter and strong. It's winter here by us now. So, nothing in the way of ccoking this stew!

Great, good luck!
Looks amazing! I love how the simmering broth thickened up without adding any thickener.
" Drank to much green beer and had lucky charms for dinner " LMFAO !!!!!
+bmoraski lucky charms are awesome!!!!
They're always stealing mine...
I've watched this six times and cannot WAIT to make this today. Happy Saint Patrick's Day y'all!
Will be trying out this recipe for dinner 🤤
Thanks for the video and might I add, your voice is quite comforting 🙂
Looks like it's begging for a Bay Leaf.
It is. I make this recipe about once a month and I always add 1-2 bay leaves.
Nah... its begging for both bay leaves and coriander.
Better still Saffron. But who can afford it! EXTREMELY COSTLY.
I put a few dashes of cayenne...really good taste.
@Unicorn Bunny Honestly you can get almost the same color with a bit of turmeric. Or you can stretch your saffron powder with turmeric (which most saffron powder sellers do anyway). The entire middle east just choked on their tahdeeg from me saying that, but it's true.
Mesmer ASMR : If you think Saffron spice is ONLY about colour then you don't know about saffron. Its the most expensive spice in the world its around $20.00 per gram. N u think those cheap supplements they sold as saffron is saffron!
Have made this twice with excellent results. Chef John is spot on once again! Only variation I ran into was the simmering time for the beef. It took more than twice as long. about 3 hours using chuck, and 5 hours using eye round. The beef out here is not the best. Going to try the butcher next time. The food markets sell crap anymore.
9:30 on a Sunday night in a small town.
WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF??
Because you lack a cougar to do it for you... ¦)
I feel for you. Same thing but AFTER I just had dried fish for lunch. :(
This is one of my favorites . Mommas having heart surgery tomorrow so I’m making this for her the house smells so good . Thank you for the wonderful recipes ❤
John should just Irish dishes all the time.
he cant cook.
Made this today and it was amazing the beer just added a richness that was that star in the dish. I added pearl onions in mine with green peas and it just made the whole thing pop
Add a bay leaf, flour your meat before you brown it, and lastly, use beef broth instead of chicken broth and you have my recipe.
Artie Wagoner. I was wondering why he used chicken broth... Yours sound great.
That’s exactly how I made it & it was great!
Always wonderful. I love this guy! St patty day is coming I searched my favorite guy an of course he never let's me down. Making for my family Sundsy.
Thank you
Chicken stock?????
It's a stock that is made from chicken.
I use beef both
glenn lawless it is the stock of a chicken plant.
Yeah I've asked this about other recipes, basically sometimes you use chicken broth because it's more of a neutral flavor compared with beef broth. In this recipe, I'm guessing that because the beer already adds a rich, darker flavor, a beef broth would make the end result a bit harsh - notice he added sugar to offset the beer...
8trigrammer what is tje non alcoholic substitute for beer for this recipe ?
Best stew I've ever eaten. Thank you
Beef with Guiness.
What else needs to be said?
But chicken broth!?? Beef broth instead.
I made this recipe today, and It was absolutely delicious. My family was very pleased. Thanks Chef
Irish feminists say "Erin go braghless".
Okay so this comment is coming very late only because I've become a famous cook in my area because of your recipes. Your caramel chicken those strange to most has never met with anything but rave reviews. From your rice pilaf to your lasagna if I want to make something new I just look up your recipe. It's as simple as that never been disappointed never not a crowd pleaser never not crave-worthy. I can't thank you enough I really want to come to San Francisco just to watch you cook. You are my hero and if I'm not your number one fan I should be. I think I've made almost all your recipes including the curry peanut butter chicken that I may just made two days ago that I can't say enough of it was so better than restaurant quality what can I say. I am a fan now finally paid the money don't know why I didn't do it sooner thank you for making me the cook I am and for everyone thinking I'm an amazing chef. I stole it all from you! Best food wishes, Cassie Kaz
Get yourself a QUALITY stout for this recipe. Don't just grab guinness because you've heard of it. I recommend a beer like New Holland - The Poet. It's available year round and really elevates this already amazing recipe.
Amocoru The and
Guinness is good tho...
Or just stick to the traditional IRISH recipe and use a traditional IRISH stout
Sophie Stimpson Guinness a fine example of LONDON PORTER. Yup, Irish stout is an English recipe beer.
b-but guinness is tasty
I made this for the first time today! A WONDERFUL St Patrick’s day meal. Served it on colcannon and made your Irish biscuits to with it all. I will definitely make this meal again!
I fell in love with this dish last summer. I would describe it as the best beef stew one has ever eaten...
and it might be a a bit wrong, but I like to make some cornbread to go with it... because cornbread is awesome with stews.
I have recently become a fan of your site and have made this recipe twice! My family loved it so much that they asked me to make it again a few days later. Thank you for your easy to follow directions and great recipes!
Wow! We made this today, so good! A couple changes, which is called cooking 🤣, used maple syrup instead of sugar, added chicken bouillon base & added Worcestershire sauce near the end for more flavor. Served with sour cream, onion cream cheese, half n half, buttered mashed red potatoes! Delish!!
Love this recipe, it's my go too for stew. I add mushrooms with the carrots and celery as well as cabbage in the last 15 min.
I'm currently making this for the second time the first time I had it it was absolutely amazing. Cannot wait until its ready to eat... I love the little bowl of mashed potatoes..
What a phenomenal dish. I made it today for my family and it is by far the best stew I've had or made. I tried to find the green onion mash recipe and couldn't so i aired on the side of caution and used chives for my mash. They were great! Thanks for the awesome recipes. You've helped me feed my family of five and indirectly inspired my nine year old to want to become a chef. Please keep it coming. :)
I so liked all you recipes. I started watched you channel and I start cooking. I already try most of your recipes
All awesome. Thank you very much.
Possibly my all time favourite video on TH-cam and I’m not kidding. Great recipe, great and delightful instructions, and having cooked this for friends on numerous occasions I can confirm that this recipe is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Try it, like it, subscribe and then share. I’m not affiliated with this channel but omg there is some delicious stuff to discover here because I’ve tried lots of the recipes and I promise you won’t be disappointed. Love this. Thank you Food Wishes X.
...so I just HAD to come back to make a comment. My body is STILL shaking from how amazingly delicious this dish is. Someone said it best in the comments, "do yourself a favor and MAKE THIS DISH!!!" I, however, altered the recipe a bit after watching about 5 other versions of this. In other words, I watched all these different recipes and then chose what I liked in each and combined them all together into my OWN recipe, and let me tell you...DIVINE! I did the bacon as he suggested, (extra bacon cut slightly bigger) but set it off to the side for the wayyyy end. Then the beef which I seasoned (3lbs) 2tbs garlic, 1tsp ginger, 2tsp of salt, but also added the same amount of "supreme tradition steakhouse seasoning," 2tsp, in that same bacon oil. Set aside. Then 1 onion plus 1 green chili, but instead of adding more salt, I smashed up 3 olives and let that salt do the job. Then I poured in the "EXTRA stout" Guinness (1 can). After a few mins I added all the vegetables ( carrots, celery, 8 pitted/dried prunes) plus 2 tbs tomato paste and 2 tbs brown sugar. Then, just to BARELY cover up the top of it all I added some spicy stew beef broth...just enough to cover it all. As MUCH Italian season as you can handle....I probably put about 3tbs....fresh thyme and other herbs of choice then close the pot. Place in your preheated oven for 2.5 - 4hrs. Once you've decided it's simmered and cooked enough, fork tender, THEN toss in the bacon. Enjoy!!
i made this a few nights ago and it came out fantastic. Best stew I ever made. Who knew a can of Guinness could add so much flaver
I tried this two years ago and we love it and eat this all year! It is our go to for Thanks Patricks day!! Best stew ever!!!

Made this with my brother last and and it was unbelievable! So much flavor! Thanks!!!
So far, I think this is my favorite Food Wishes recipe I've tried.
