I've learnt a lot from Chef Marco Pierre White. I found that he teaches us simpler ways to cook delicious food. Another Chef that I have great respect for is Chef Frank Proto. He's also a phenomenal teacher. Then I started watching Chef JP, and let me tell you; I've never seen such love and dedication of a Chef to teach his ways to the viewers. All the recipes are world class restaurant stuff, but made in a way that we can replicate it at home. Chef JP, I am very grateful for you teachings throughout the years starting from that onyo video 11 years ago. Love you Chef JP!
Beautiful comment you made! Also very nice tribute to Chef Marco Pierre White from Chef Jean-Pierre. These two are legends and the only ones I am making recipes from 🙂
I loved watching Marco when he was on the original Hell's Kitchen in the UK, he was intimidating yet so open and sweet with the celebrity contestants. I wished I saved those files, it's nearly impossible to find the series online anymore.
People criticize Marco? Sheesh. Besides Marco, this channel, and very few others, most of what I see on TH-cam are people who have no idea how to cook, people who just follow recipes without understanding basic techniques. People say they like their personality, but I don't see what the appeal is. Chef Jean-Pierre has both the personality and the skill, just watch him!
Chef Marco Pierre White is my favorite chef, he is the best ever. He started out as a tough intense chef. Now he is a very cool and lovely person. Chef Jean-Pierre is up there with him as one of the best chefs ever.
Chef, I really don't mind the length of your videos, the longer the better! Don't rush through them, I prefer when you are doing what you love, cooking and teaching. I love the banter too! And Jack's great little images and humor. DO NOT worry about the length!
Agreed! When Chef mentioned the video being too long, I had to go back and look at the time. I don't think 20 minutes is too long when I'm learning so much.
I simply LOVE this channel more than ANYTHING else on either YT, TV or any movie in the world ! The world would be a sad place without you Jean-Pierre and Jack also of course. One BIG heart for the both of you ❤❤
CJP is one of my go-to, not sure what your into but Matt Offroad Recovery is another channel for a genuine person that loves what they do. CJP, Matt's Offroad, and Bob Ross, will cure what ales you😂
One thing I've noticed about Marco is when it comes to service , he is all business . He may talk hard to his staff when there are errors being made , he says things that some may take as a personal attack . But he says things to make you think and stay on top of your game . I have never seen him attack his staff like Ramsay does . If you listen to Marco you can learn volumes from him as well. But you my friend , i hear your voice in the background when cooking or even grocery shopping . I have whipped up some interesting dishes using the tips and tricks i have learned from you . Sometimes i think i missed my calling . I enjoy cooking much more than i did being an industrial Electrician. Keep doing what you do , cause I'll keep watching . Thank you Chef Jean Pierre.
Chef Jean-Pierre - I love that you are the French version of Fred Flintstone in the kitchen - yaba daba doo, Friends. No need for you to rush in the kitchen, I am watching however long it takes. I watch you cooking at the end of the day, after work. You are my relaxation. I love it when you " if you don't like this ingredient, don't add it - it's only cooking". Can you tell my boss to adopt this relaxed attitude too?
It is so cool to sit here watching Chef Jean-Pierre and seeing his Likes go up and up. What a great thing Chef is doing for us, showing us the simplicity of cooking well.
I agree 100% with your comments about Marco Pierre White, he is an amazing Chef. I have learned many skills from him and I like his no nonsense attitude to cooking. Now Jean Pierre, I regard you in the same esteem as Marco. Your cooking is brilliant and your style is perfect. I have learnt even more from you. The food is so easy and I think I have made just about everything you have put online (I could be wrong and missed a little too). Please keep producing your video's. I look forward to them and I often watch over and over, just love the way you present, a world class Chef with a passionately homely and friendly person who can make us feel the intensity of great cooking, many thanks to you for making me a better cook.
Chef, putting my request in early for the Holiday months. Parsnips, Turnips, Rutabega...Braised veggies like onions and leeks... People would be blown away by how good these veggies can taste. And they are very medicinal. LOVE Rick.
That's a fact. No mater what kind of day I'm having this man gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I'm an electrical engineer by profession, so I'm no chef by any standard however, every recipe of his I've done has been outstanding!
Marco Pierre White is an absolute rock star. When you look up chef in the dictionary, his face is beside it. He's just like Jean-Pierre, too, I believe, in that he has Italian heritage on one side and French on the other, which means food is EVERYTHING to him. I love how he gave up the Michelin stars to cook more soulful, simple food. This dish looks amazing, Chef. I'd love to see a collab between you and Marco.
Thank u 4 being 1 of the few people who shows true appreciation to 1 of the world's greatest chefs who has integrity. The downers r just desperate 4 likes of JP!!
Marco Pierre White had an Italian Mother and his Father was British Marco Pierre Whote comes from family who were Chefs so it was in his blood so to speak
Chef! You're a mind reader! I was literally just planning to make Beef Stew this weekend and looking for a good recipe that had beer in it! Chef JP to the rescue! I'll be using this one for sure!
Being a chef is VERY hard work. It may not be complicated, but the cleaning, management of food, and the flow take a lot of energy. Key is to have an order to things. One of your most important videos literally was only 3 minutes long, but you started to mention how to plan a menu for a week. Such videos are so important. I request such learning
I love the roux or flour tip. To think I could have made my gumbo better by putting my roux through a sifter. I have to make this with dried cherries instead of prunes, and no leaks. Thank you Chef. I am sure Chef Marco would approve. Like you, he loves to teach newer chefs.
I've always preferred using a roux over flour, but Chef JP's make-ahead roux is a huge time saver. I keep a jar on the counter, one in the fridge, and several in the freezer. I have a friend who has always struggled with making a roux, so I showed her his trick with the strainer and she went 😱 OMG! 😅 It's been a game changer for her. So many great tips and amazing recipes on this channel, and lots of laughs, too!
Im glad u gave praise and rightly so to Marco Pierre White. He worked with some of the legendary chefs of his time and is the reason people know who Gordon Ramsay is today. Also as an aside, the first video on youtube I saw of someone making steak au poiuvr was his and then yours.
Beef Stew is one of my favorite things to make and eat. I always am looking for new variations and can't wait to try this recipe. There are prunes in my cupboard! I usually make a big pot and freeze the leftovers in small portions in order to have any easy to grab lunch or dinner. Thanks for sharing how to do this. Now, I am really hungry.
we have a similar stew in belgium. we usually add as well sharp mustard, cloves or juniper berries and a bit of sirop de liège (a belgian jam) or molasses. oh and of course its made with dark belgian beer 😉
I made your Chicken Picatta, and it was the best chicken I've ever eaten! Guinness is my favourite beer, so I already know I'll be trying this! Thank you, Chef!
I make a lamb version of this for my brother's bar on St Patrick's Day. It's delicious, but I never considered adding prunes/cherries. I'll have to try it, Chef! Always learn something new on your channel.
Looks fantastic! I dont think i would try the prunes. Such a flavorful way to make this. Sometimes when we're young we dont have an understanding on how these extra steps can elevate the end dish! God bless all here!
I love everything about your channel, great recipes, amazing teaching and extraordinary sense of humor. You are inspiring. Thank you! I will try this recipe for sure.
Everyone deserves a great comforting dish to eat!! This Recipe from Jean Pierre tastes great and it was the best Beef Stew that I ever made!!! Thyme and Rosemary are always good with meat. Yes, the prunes are a good balance with the dark beer!!!
Marco Pierre White is probably/possibly the greatest British chef. Reached the height of Michelin then gave his awards back as he knew more about food than the people judging him. Still owns the title of youngest British chef to get 3 stars. Ramsey another great chef worked under White. Talking of 3 star meals, here is one. French baguette, Welsh Butter, Châteaux neuf du pape and a bowl of Chef Jean-Pierre's beef stock.
Delia Smith made this long before Marco did. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that's where Marco first saw the recipe. It's in one Delia's early cookbooks. I first cooked it in the mid to late 80s following Delias recipe which is almost identical to this one its fabulous. Looks amazing, thanks again Jean Pierre.
I agree with what you say about the critics........."YOU go out there and do it!" I've said that to others who complain about restaurants and their servers, etc....... Kudos for you!
My mother had a beef stew recipe using apricots, I was told there is something in the apricot that breaks down the meats and makes them tender. Too much can make the meat into mush though. It was a good stew. I use Guinness in my Chilis and Beef Stews now and again, always a nice addition.
I just went to Chef Marco Pierre White's site and like Chef Jean-Pierre he certainly looks to be very very delightful with is creativity and preparation! You just don't see the professionalism like that of Chef Jean-Pierre! Not just a culinary artist but a true professional!
Just made this. Spectacular. Thank you for another fantastic recipe. I cooked it in a slow cooker. 200F for 6 hrs was what it needed in the cooker. Tomorrow I will use some of it to make beef pot pies.
I love Marco Pierre White, but your humor and personality Chef, make it much easier and enjoyable to follow and learn how to cook. Plus, I tried Marco's Beef Bourguignon and I made it your way. Have to say, yours was better. Hands and forks down. 👍👍🍴🍴 Grazie Chef. Sei maginfico!
I like your port wine beef stew also. The cipollini onions and mushrooms make that version uniquely good. Plus the garnishing of the soup bowl with fingerling potatoes and baby carrots at the end is beautiful. Hard to beat that one!
Beautiful and what a wonderful fall and winter meal this should make! I still would like to say, the chef should consider a tour of a few U.S. Cities. I'm 100% sure he would be treated by thousands! What a gift to all of us followers and what a gift from we viewers to the Chef!!!!
Thank you Chef for this fabulous recipe! I made this last week, yes with the prunes, and my family loved it! You have given me so much joy watching your videos and the food you made is beyond delicious. I am 73 and am learning a whole new way to cook because of you. Thank you so much.
Hello chef. I made this for a gathering we had last week, and I have to tell you that I have never gotten as many compliments as I did for this beef stew! Of course you got all the credit, and one of my friends looked up the recipe, but he was surprised by the number of ingredients required. I thought this was pretty easy to put together, and I’m looking forward to making it again. Next time I will make sure to not cut the veggies as small as I did. When I served the leftovers, they pretty much “evaporated.” One of my friends finished off the leftovers today, and he actually took the rest of the gravy home with him. He’s gonna use it on a steak and cheese grinder! Thanks for the great recipe Jean Pierre! You have so many it’s gonna be difficult deciding what to make next. Cheers!
Hi Chef Jan-Pierre! The stew looks delicious! I like that you can use less expensive cuts of meat. This is going into my folder. Thank you so much for sharing1 You and Jack are awesome!
All those years I used the “gravey shaker” that my Dad used, praying I got the lumps out. How simple to put the sieve in the liquid. Wow. Learn something new every day.
I could tell this was going to be nice with all the ingredients. The only problem I’d have if cooking this for guests would be that casserole dish would be empty because I’d have eaten it all while “tasting” straight from the dish before serving. I’d love to see you do a UK classic like a Steak and Ale pie with mushrooms. There’s something really good about cooking beef with beer / ale. Did you know the Marmite spread was made as a byproduct of yeast used for beer? We spread that on toast over in the UK - but it has a very salty savoury taste. Lovely 😋😙👌 Edit: using the sieve in the casserole was such a simple but clever technique - as always you are effortless yet a master at cooking!
I LOVE watching Chef Jean-Pierre, because I don't know if he's drunk, crazy, or just that way normally. I'm normally drunk after work or crazy, so I can relate, and love food, and it's moments where he realizes that he didn't have the burner turned up that make me feel better about myself LOLOL
I there I made this yesterday and I must say it's the best stew I have had didn't know I liked prunes either until now. My new favourite chef thank you
I am so grateful chef Jean Pierre is willing to make these videos and teach us all! 🙏 Just these last few days I've seen an array of videos where 'chefs' would say to do the exact opposite of what JP tells us. And let me tell you, I'm going with his advice, mostly because every recipe I've tried so far has been amazing! But also because Jean Pierre actually explains (very well) why he is doing the things the way he is. Like the other day I saw someone making a stock and being adamant about seasoning with salt and pepper at the end, but not actually elaborate further on it then just insisting it was necessary. And not sure if it is a coincidence, but also very recently saw a video of someone reviewing a video of Marco and indeed had quite some things to say. I usually like the content this person puts out, but did not agree with this one, especially since some critical background info on that video was overlooked, but which was kind of targeted in the review. And like the chef said; you go get those Michelin Stars before judging someone else. (this person even pointed out that he did not value those stars for several reasons, which partially I could understand his point, but the overall tone was just to negative for my liking) I absolutely appreciate the positive vibes Jean Pierre puts out in each in and every video 🤗👌
I love your channel and use your cooking methodologies a lot. I also use Marco Piere White too. I have combined Marco's method of using a knorr stock cube to marinate meat and i use your Jean Pierre method to make a broth. For stews, soups, wonderful flavour
Thank chef. Once I have made stock, exactly as you teach in video, I buy beef offcuts, place in a pot and then add your stock just covering beef and slowly cook reducing stock. I will repeat this 3 times until I have a rich liquid and then add this to the original stock. This is a method from a chef called Auguste Escoffier and Marco Pierre White used some of Escoffier's methods
My two favourite chefs in the closest thing we may ever get to a collab. This was a great day. Thanks, Chef JP. Love your content, my family loves the food I cook from it!
I find the really good chefs for me... like Chef Jean-Pierre is that there is more technique, or food science....when to add things or why u add it , than i can use his knowledge to swap things around or try things differently( different meat/ingredients etc).....because of his technique...you know its got the experience and science behind it ❤
I'm glad you made this. Guinness is my favorite beer. I've also been making Guinness beef stew for years. I'm anxious to see how mine compares to yours. I think I actually got my base recipe from America's test kitchen then tweaked it to make my own. I appreciate what you do. I've been a fan since you were on PBS.
I love the recipe … making this for Saint Patrick’s Day! I don’t have prunes so for a little sweetness to offset the slight bitter taste of the Guinness I will add a little brown sugar. I also add a dash of white balsamic vinegar to add a little depth of flavor. And yes this is best served over Champ.
It’s a cool, rainy day and I made this beef stew. It smelled heavenly while in the oven, and it’s the best beef stew I’ve ever had!! I served it with a crusty round loaf of homemade artisan bread rather than mashed potatoes and we used the torn chunks of bread to mop up every morsel. Thank you for this recipe!
Chef Jean-Pierre I made the beef stew two times. The beef stew was so good that I do not know if kings ever ate the beef stew according to your recipe, but if they do not, the should have!! The stew is great!!!
This is the actual best cooking show on you tube! Chef is funny, it’s educational and to top it off great food! What more could you want? Thank you chef for making these wonderful videos.
MPW is the type of chef that you take seriously, and inspires you to want to be as knowledgeable as him. JP is the type of chef who has just as much knowledge, but has a more "blues clues" approach where he wants you to learn AND have fun at the same time, because they are not mutually exclusive.
Dear Chef Jean Pierre, I cooked a Beef Stew this weekend, loosely based on your recipe here. The Prunes put the Stew (Gulasch) to a whole different level, it tasted great. It was so good, I nearly rubbed it all over my body. But then we rather ate it of course. Thank you for your video and your cooking channel in general. I love your videos and learn a lot from them. Thanks and Kind Regards from Germany Oliver
I've been making this dish for years, but I never thought of using both prunes and dark beer. Thanks Chef JP for another fantastic tidbits of advice that always take the dish over the top!
The “oldbies” of the channel probably said “Maillard reaction” along with you! I’m glad Jack signed off on the prunes being delicious, because I might have skipped them otherwise! Another great recipe that I can’t wait to try.
Jean over the last couple years I’ve watched admired and cooked eaten many of your stews wow they all are fantastic,,,, but Jean together wth Chef Marco you’ve gone and surpassed yourself on this one wow who’d ever think of Stout in stew and Prunes as well myy oh my I can’t wait to cook this one up this one MUST far out do the term comfort food and is a culinary delight !!!! Thank you for presenting this Stew which simply must become the hight of highlights of stew - the other more flashy term casserole 😊😊😊😊😊 Thank you for such a exciting dish to cook and present
Beautiful, gorgeous stew! The prunes in stew are popular in Central and Eastern Europe. My grandma made the same stew with red wine instead of the Guinness. Instead of the beef, lamb or goat (mutton) are amazing with this. I have some beef in the fridge, I know what I'm going to cook for the Saturday lunch 🤤🥰
Marco really is an inspiration with a quiet humbling disposition now, chef doing his dishes just shows the respect ill have to try this one thanks chef
I've learnt a lot from Chef Marco Pierre White. I found that he teaches us simpler ways to cook delicious food. Another Chef that I have great respect for is Chef Frank Proto. He's also a phenomenal teacher.

Never really had those three, I agree need a recipe for this
Every time I watch Chef Jean-Pierre it’s like an ingredient for having a good day

The look on your face as you said "mmm buttered mashed potatoes" was just great. Thanks for making cooking fun - everyone in my house watches you.
I love marco..... he stepped away and brought chef cooking into our homes just like you.. mad respect.
Chef! You're a mind reader! I was literally just planning to make Beef Stew this weekend and looking for a good recipe that had beer in it! Chef JP to the rescue! I'll be using this one for sure!
haha I just bought 2 pounds of beef for the same reason what timing!
Same here, this is a must for the weekend. Can't wait to taste the Prunes. Thank you Chef 😊

I did not get my invitation????😂
Another great recipe chef JP. It would be nice to see Jack in front of camera enjoying tasting the food with you
YES YES. Chef should make 2 plates and they should both eat! 😋😋
No just leave him

Not only do you have to work hard to get 3 stars but you must work so much harder to hold onto them. Great recipe Chef JP!
Definitely trying this recipe my husband will love it ❤ Thank You Chef
yesss! there are only two chefs i love and one is obviously you and the other is marco, and you're both pierre 😊 you're both crazy, funny and unique.
Looks fantastic! I dont think i would try the prunes. Such a flavorful way to make this. Sometimes when we're young we dont have an understanding on how these extra steps can elevate the end dish!

Marco was a good friend of mine, but I haven't seen him for about 10 years. He is great fun and an excellent chef. I love the man!!
Since discovering Chef Jean-Pierre I’ve been obsessed! Thank you for sharing your recipes and experience with us ❤
I love everything about your channel, great recipes, amazing teaching and extraordinary sense of humor. You are inspiring. Thank you! I will try this recipe for sure.

I like your port wine beef stew also. The cipollini onions and mushrooms make that version uniquely good. Plus the garnishing of the soup bowl with fingerling potatoes and baby carrots at the end is beautiful. Hard to beat that one!
Dear Chef, I made this for the family and it was an absolute hit! Love your recipes and videos.
Beautiful and what a wonderful fall and winter meal this should make! I still would like to say, the chef should consider a tour of a few U.S. Cities. I'm 100% sure he would be treated by thousands! What a gift to all of us followers and what a gift from we viewers to the Chef!!!!
This dish is perfect looks delicious meat and potatoes
Thank you Chef for this fabulous recipe! I made this last week, yes with the prunes, and my family loved it! You have given me so much joy watching your videos and the food you made is beyond delicious. I am 73 and am learning a whole new way to cook because of you. Thank you so much.
I always add beer to my beef stew! Really makes a difference! Great recipe, chef. 👍
Hello chef. I made this for a gathering we had last week, and I have to tell you that I have never gotten as many compliments as I did for this beef stew! Of course you got all the credit, and one of my friends looked up the recipe, but he was surprised by the number of ingredients required. I thought this was pretty easy to put together, and I’m looking forward to making it again. Next time I will make sure to not cut the veggies as small as I did. When I served the leftovers, they pretty much “evaporated.” One of my friends finished off the leftovers today, and he actually took the rest of the gravy home with him. He’s gonna use it on a steak and cheese grinder! Thanks for the great recipe Jean Pierre! You have so many it’s gonna be difficult deciding what to make next. Cheers!
Hi Chef Jan-Pierre! The stew looks delicious! I like that you can use less expensive cuts of meat. This is going into my folder. Thank you so much for sharing1 You and Jack are awesome!
For the record- what you are teaching us to cook
Looks absolutely 💯 Delicious 😋!!!
Brilliant once again. I always know watching one of your videos will whisk me away from reality for a precious few minutes. Best screen chef ever.
Thank you 🙏
All those years I used the “gravey shaker” that my Dad used, praying I got the lumps out. How simple to put the sieve in the liquid. Wow. Learn something new every day.
I could tell this was going to be nice with all the ingredients.
The only problem I’d have if cooking this for guests would be that casserole dish would be empty because I’d have eaten it all while “tasting” straight from the dish before serving.
I’d love to see you do a UK classic like a Steak and Ale pie with mushrooms.
There’s something really good about cooking beef with beer / ale.
Did you know the Marmite spread was made as a byproduct of yeast used for beer? We spread that on toast over in the UK - but it has a very salty savoury taste.
Lovely 😋😙👌
Edit: using the sieve in the casserole was such a simple but clever technique - as always you are effortless yet a master at cooking!
🙏🙏🙏
Nothing better than Chef Jean-Pierre. His recipes are incredible. We always follow as closely as we can!
Looks fabulous, Chef! When you were plating it, I was thinking "Keep going, keep going, a little more please, a little more please!" Yum! 😋
I LOVE watching Chef Jean-Pierre, because I don't know if he's drunk, crazy, or just that way normally. I'm normally drunk after work or crazy, so I can relate, and love food, and it's moments where he realizes that he didn't have the burner turned up that make me feel better about myself LOLOL
Man! Im so glad i found your youtube channel! Thank you so much for sharing!
Love that Maillard Reaction!
I there I made this yesterday and I must say it's the best stew I have had didn't know I liked prunes either until now. My new favourite chef thank you
Also JACK!!! Love the added video at the very end!!! The last couple times has been so great!!!!!!!
I am so grateful chef Jean Pierre is willing to make these videos and teach us all! 🙏 Just these last few days I've seen an array of videos where 'chefs' would say to do the exact opposite of what JP tells us. And let me tell you, I'm going with his advice, mostly because every recipe I've tried so far has been amazing! But also because Jean Pierre actually explains (very well) why he is doing the things the way he is. Like the other day I saw someone making a stock and being adamant about seasoning with salt and pepper at the end, but not actually elaborate further on it then just insisting it was necessary.
And not sure if it is a coincidence, but also very recently saw a video of someone reviewing a video of Marco and indeed had quite some things to say. I usually like the content this person puts out, but did not agree with this one, especially since some critical background info on that video was overlooked, but which was kind of targeted in the review. And like the chef said; you go get those Michelin Stars before judging someone else. (this person even pointed out that he did not value those stars for several reasons, which partially I could understand his point, but the overall tone was just to negative for my liking) I absolutely appreciate the positive vibes Jean Pierre puts out in each in and every video 🤗👌
I love your channel and use your cooking methodologies a lot. I also use Marco Piere White too. I have combined Marco's method of using a knorr stock cube to marinate meat and i use your Jean Pierre method to make a broth. For stews, soups, wonderful flavour
Thank chef. Once I have made stock, exactly as you teach in video, I buy beef offcuts, place in a pot and then add your stock just covering beef and slowly cook reducing stock. I will repeat this 3 times until I have a rich liquid and then add this to the original stock. This is a method from a chef called Auguste Escoffier and Marco Pierre White used some of Escoffier's methods
Thanks Chef. Fifth of your recipes I've made. It came out GREAT, potatoes included!
👍👍👍😊
Jack made his point of mentioning the delicious prunes... I must try it now 😁
My two favourite chefs in the closest thing we may ever get to a collab. This was a great day. Thanks, Chef JP. Love your content, my family loves the food I cook from it!
I find the really good chefs for me... like Chef Jean-Pierre is that there is more technique, or food science....when to add things or why u add it , than i can use his knowledge to swap things around or try things differently( different meat/ingredients etc).....because of his technique...you know its got the experience and science behind it ❤
You and MPW are my 2 favorite chefs. Thank you for making this. Cheers Chef JP❤
Another recipe, another smile. Thanks for my next stew!
Love it, especially that it's freezable and can be made in large batches. Imagine feasting on this whenever you like.
I'm glad you made this. Guinness is my favorite beer. I've also been making Guinness beef stew for years. I'm anxious to see how mine compares to yours. I think I actually got my base recipe from America's test kitchen then tweaked it to make my own. I appreciate what you do. I've been a fan since you were on PBS.
I love the recipe … making this for Saint Patrick’s Day!
I don’t have prunes so for a little sweetness to offset the slight bitter taste of the Guinness I will add a little brown sugar. I also add a dash of white balsamic vinegar to add a little depth of flavor. And yes this is best served over Champ.
It’s a cool, rainy day and I made this beef stew. It smelled heavenly while in the oven, and it’s the best beef stew I’ve ever had!! I served it with a crusty round loaf of homemade artisan bread rather than mashed potatoes and we used the torn chunks of bread to mop up every morsel.
Thank you for this recipe!
Chef Jean-Pierre I made the beef stew two times. The beef stew was so good that I do not know if kings ever ate the beef stew according to your recipe, but if they do not, the should have!! The stew is great!!!
For those who don’t want the prunes/sweetness, mushrooms would go great here. Amazing video as always JP, thanks!
Yes, Marco is an inspiration, and a caution too.
This is the actual best cooking show on you tube! Chef is funny, it’s educational and to top it off great food! What more could you want? Thank you chef for making these wonderful videos.
I like beer beef stew thats delicious good recipe.
MPW is the type of chef that you take seriously, and inspires you to want to be as knowledgeable as him.
JP is the type of chef who has just as much knowledge, but has a more "blues clues" approach where he wants you to learn AND have fun at the same time, because they are not mutually exclusive.
Dear Chef Jean Pierre, I cooked a Beef Stew this weekend, loosely based on your recipe here. The Prunes put the Stew (Gulasch) to a whole different level, it tasted great. It was so good, I nearly rubbed it all over my body. But then we rather ate it of course. Thank you for your video and your cooking channel in general. I love your videos and learn a lot from them. Thanks and Kind Regards from Germany Oliver
I've been making this dish for years, but I never thought of using both prunes and dark beer. Thanks Chef JP for another fantastic tidbits of advice that always take the dish over the top!
The “oldbies” of the channel probably said “Maillard reaction” along with you! I’m glad Jack signed off on the prunes being delicious, because I might have skipped them otherwise! Another great recipe that I can’t wait to try.
I made this recipe with dried cherries. The family LOVED it! I will definitely make it again.
Chef Jean Pierre is my new favorite Chef!
Jean over the last couple years I’ve watched admired and cooked eaten many of your stews wow they all are fantastic,,,, but Jean together wth Chef Marco you’ve gone and surpassed yourself on this one wow who’d ever think of Stout in stew and Prunes as well myy oh my I can’t wait to cook this one up this one MUST far out do the term comfort food and is a culinary delight !!!! Thank you for presenting this Stew which simply must become the hight of highlights of stew - the other more flashy term casserole 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for such a exciting dish to cook and present
Beautiful, gorgeous stew!
The prunes in stew are popular in Central and Eastern Europe. My grandma made the same stew with red wine instead of the Guinness.
Instead of the beef, lamb or goat (mutton) are amazing with this.
I have some beef in the fridge, I know what I'm going to cook for the Saturday lunch 🤤🥰
I love Jean-Pierre's art of cooking!
I made this for family and a good friend who came to visit! It was a hit! I served Creme Caramel (your recipe of course!) for dessert. Thank you chef!
Chef thank you so very much for these wonderful recipes…..Please, I was wondering could you please demonstrate Bourride stew for us…❤
The tip of using a strainer to incorporate flour is one of my favorites. So simple yet so effective. That and Onyo always number first :)
Marco really is an inspiration with a quiet humbling disposition now, chef doing his dishes just shows the respect ill have to try this one thanks chef
Marco "Pierre" White is as humble as a greek god on his birthday lol.
I'm so happy to see this recipe, always wanted a Guinness Irish stew recipe. It's my favorite drink on the planet. ❤
