We are going to start adding some product taste tests to the podcast! Watch the Sip and Feast Podcast: www.youtube.com/@sipandfeastpodcast.

1:18 When a stout is labeled "draught", that term is apparently pronounced "draft", not "drought". (In British English, they use a long A, so draught is pronounced "drahft".)
11:49 Jim, there's a kitchen tool you should know about for skimming fat. There are these fat skimmer tools popularly used in Asian cooking (Chinese hot pot, Japanese shabu shabu, and also for preparing ramen broth and stocks) that have an ultra fine steel mesh that almost looks like fabric because the strands of the wire mesh are so fine; for some reason, water-based liquids pass through the mesh fairly easily, but fat seems to have a harder time passing through the mesh, so these things let you remove the fat layer without losing any of the water-based layer under it. This tool really should be popularized. It's brilliant, and not nearly as annoying to use as trying to do the same with a ladle. Search for "fat skimmer" and you'll see what I mean. They look like ladles with flat bowls made of ultra fine mesh, and they come in various sizes. Make sure you get one with an extremely fine mesh; one that merely has a strainer style mesh won't exhibit this fat retaining effect.
As an Irish man from Dublin. I wouldn’t add Worcestershire sauce, however this is a fantastically made recipe and would be very happy being fed this, just like everything you do. Thank You buddy
Great recipe. For the fans; True Irish stew is done with lamb, this is a fantastic Irish beef stew! I add some kerrygold butter to the onions for more Irish flavor. like taking the lid off the stew for the last 45-60 mins in the oven, the stew caramelizes and some of the beef gets additional color and flavor. If you omit the potatoes and instead make mashed potatoes to poor the stew onto, you’ll be in Irish heaven. God bless you fine Brooklyn Italians! Happy Saint Patrick’s day!
@@amen_ra6926hey we started watching around that time also. I thought time moved too fast before 2020...lol. Now that absurdly horrific, increasingly nightmarish events are happening EVERY DAY, I find that I'm blocking out large chunks of time. I barely have any memory of 2021-2023. Which is just as well since basically only terrible things have happened. Hope you're staying strong my friend l
Dude. So good. I did Pinot noir instead of beer for the extra sweetness, and seared the steak under the broiler for a more even Millard reaction. So damn good. The bacon was a nice touch. I love your channel. It was so cool to see you go from like 10k subs to where you are now. You’re one of my favorite cooking TH-camrs. Don’t change.
What you made sounds a lot like Beef Bourginon, except subbing bacon for the unsmoked version of bacon, guanshali (sp?) or pancetta lardons. I’m American: I prefer the bacon!
You make perfect sense. Cooking can be slightly tweaked without changing the integrity of the whole dish. That’s what cooking is all about. Have fun with your food!
First,Jim and Tara,you have raised two great kids,had to say that! As an Irishman who has made this lots of times,you are spot on.Love your channel and your close knit family🇨🇦🇬🇧
Thanks for teaching the cooking principles, and not just the recipe, which makes it more informative, and still entertaining with your style, cheers!😎👍
I love this stew and the flavor is amazing. Although I add a little more broth but do not add Worcestershire sauce and the potatoes. I serve it over mashed potatoes with a crusty bread.
Another great video with a strong recipe. On fat removal. I find it very effective to drain the stew, cool the liquid overnight separately, and defat in the morning. Recombine and heat everything for service. Love your podcast as well!
Great recipe and you explain cooking techniques in an easy to understand manner. I usually "degrease" with sourdough bread, then fry them up. Serve with apple butter. 🤤
Great recipe. Mine is basically the same. Agree 100% with using a chuck roast. If you really want the flavor of the beer to shine, substitute Guinness for a barrel aged stout. Dragon's Milk is readily available and not that much more costly than Guinness. You will taste the difference!
Great job 👏 The cornstarch slurry is great as long as you’re going to use everything that’s in the pot that day. If you’re planning on making enough for leftovers, a roux works much better. Cornstarch doesn’t reheat very well.
I love corned beef & cabbage. Do you make your corned beef in a pressure cooker? My Mom made hers that way but I don't have a pressure cooker or an insta-pot.
Jim, I made this recipe for our neighborhood Social ....... it was so delicious, everyone was raving about it!! Your cooking videos are the absolute BEST! I had my iPad next to me in the kitchen watching you step by step ......... I watch all your videos and listen to your podcasts; please keep them coming. BRAVO!! 🥰
Thank you very much. I cooked a few of your receipts (3 times tuscan white bean soup and once swedish meatballs) and I like the way you explain the cooking. Its so heart warming how your wife and son are integrated in these videos. Always a pleasure if a new video comes out.
You are so good at explaining how to create delicious meals, the reasons why things are done in a certain way, and offering good alternatives if we’re out of an ingredient. This stew is so amazing! When an Irish friend makes this stew, he doesn’t sear the meat. It’s a big time saver & doesn’t change the flavor. He adds the raw meat in with the broth, Guinness, and thyme. He does cook it a 1/2 hour longer to cook the meat thoroughly. After the onions and tomato paste are cooked, he adds 1/4 cup of flour to create a thick stew. He uses 1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar in place of the Worcestershire. Adding the celery sounds like a good idea. I’ll add it next time. Use what you like. Use what you have on hand. FYI - if you accidentally buy Guinness Extra Stout, do not drink it straight out of the bottle if you plan on being around people for the next 24 hrs! It has a very high fiber content.
YES, my boy James is back! I never know what I'm in the mood for anymore, so I come to this channel several times a week to decide what I'm going to eat that day or the next. This stew is definitely on tap for tomorrow. I have almost everything except I don't drink, so I gotta go get beer! Thanks Jim for letting me know what I'm eating. Looks 😋!
Just a bit of info, this dish is often made with prune juice instead of beer, its traditional and if you have an aversion to alcohol as many do, go for the prune juice
I have to tell you that you offer a seemingly endless number of excellent winter recipes. I get bored with steaks and chops; I love braised beef in any form. I’ve made my own versions of your rouladen and sauerbraten-turned out great! This stew inspires me-I had given up making stew from precut beef but now I am eager to try it with chuck roast. I also want to try to make a good lamb stew but my past efforts gave not pleased me. I’m not even sure what cut to use-leg or shoulder. Too bad lambs don’t seem to have a chuck….
I just made this and it's fantastic! I used a roaster oven, which was a bit easier than the Dutch oven going in and out of my oven. I also added some extra potatoes and carrots for a more even meat/veggie balance, which added a half hour to the cooking time. My only issue was having to add oil while browning the beef because the bacon didn't render nearly enough fat, I'll use twice as much next time.
I watch you and Chef Jean-Pierre and its so reliving to hear you both say that strict adherence to recipes isn't needed. Reduces the stress of cooking immensely.
My wife can't eat pork so in this recipe I'd add some smoked paprika to bring that bacon smokey flavor. We alternate between a good Irish stew and corned beef and cabbage. This is the year for stew!
Our recipe is similar just add mushrooms. After its finished cooking out of the oven, and the fat settles at the top, we dip Irish soda bread in that fat and make fried soda bread to go with the stew. I do it with garlic butter while the stew rests. It tastes incredible to dip in the stew.
This has turned into one of my favorite channels. I've made Guinness stew many times for St Patrick's day because I'm not a fan of corned beef, unless it's in a Reuben 😆 If it's warm, I will make Reubens. Remains to be seen here in the Deep South 🥰
OMG OMG Made this today exactly like your recipe.. I mean this is the most incredible dish in the world!!! I'm astonished.. My husband is going nuts..wants to eat the whole pot!! Thank you soooooooooo very much.. you are my favorite and always will be xox
Way-hey Happy St. Paddy’s Day from Ireland!! ☘️☘️☘️ I’m not a cook or chef but I don’t understand the obsession in American cooking to add sugar to recipes. In Ireland we are led to believe that you need to allow your taste buds normalize if you need to add sugar to everything. Besides there’s enough sweetness in vegetables and even the Guinness to work with here. There are more flavors than just sweet. It didn’t surprise me you didn’t need to add sugar at the end; the stew flavor speaks for itself.
Wow, I feel like we've watched James grow up so much. One of my favorite comfort dishes is Beef Stew, I've made so many renditions of it. I'll definitely have to give yours a try!
First time watching this channel, and I have to say…As a dad who cooks for his 10-year old son every weekend, the end of this video warmed my heart. You can see the genuine happiness of dad feeding his son a delicious, hearty, home cooked meal…Nice job, papa bear!
Nice to see someone else who likes chuck for stew, I've never liked what they sell as precut stew beef in the store. Chuck comes out so tender and flavorful. You could always leave out potatoes and make some colcannon to go with as well. I think I would add another cup of beef stock but thats just me, I like lots of gravy. Looks delish and thank you!
Just had this for tea. Comfort food at it's best, especially accompanied by home made sofa bread, and a bottle of Guinness to wash it down. A very filling substantial meal. I can have left overs for lunch tomorrow. Nice one James.
Hi again. Just finished making this wonderful recipe! I followed your your instructions including the extra carrots. The meat is so tender and by adding the veggies at the halfway point, they come out done without the terrible overcooked mushiness. Thank you!
Hi love the series. Just so ya know Guinness is not a ale beer but Called Porter firstly and secondly called Stout. And it's called not Drought.But called Draft.like a Draft through your front door or window.kerp on cooking and looking forward to more great recipes ❤
Wow a 10!!! A beef roast and bottle of Guiness are on my shopping list. Can't wait to make this recipe. Love, love, love your channel and all of your family.
So excited for this recipe. The hubs loves a good beef stew and he hasn't have this yet so I am going to make this dish this week for sure! Love you and you family and recipes.
I love your cooking demonstrations. You are such a great teacher. I love your personality. Everything is almost perfect. I’m a fanatic of aesthetics. I have a little tiny comment. Plastic cutlery I’m not a fun. Just a thought. I know you love feedback. You are the best!
Really enjoyed this recipe! I totally agree with you about moving some of the fat. If I don’t plan to use it in another recipe, sometimes I’ll brown the beef fat trimmings with my bacon and just pick it out.
I've been making beef stew in the Crock Pot for decades. But I tried your recipe, and it beats the Crock Pot by a mile! My own tweak was I added some frozen peas, and covered it off heat for 10 minutes before serving. It was so fab! Thank you! Great recipe!
Hi! I am in love with your recipes, sites and instruction style! The two biggest things I find would be helpful are 1)is the recipe presented freezable and 2) how to make it a dinner (sides etc) for example I am making the potato egg sandwiches for dinner but have no idea what goes with it. I’m going with bacon and dilly beans😅 if nothing else at least I know we’ll have a delicious sandwich!
I love your recipes. I make my chicken,shrimp & sausage gumbo with Guinness extra stout beer. After all veggies and ingredients prepared in pot. Add 1 cup chicken broth,1 cup beef broth and 2 Guinness extra stout beers. Never bitter flavor tastes delicious. 😋❤️
Nice job, but in Ireland we don't use any garlic. When my Mam used to make this she'd use beef shin (it goes super soft syrupy in texture) peeled potatoes, and she would make it a day in advance, leaving it in the fridge, any accumulated fat can be peeled directly off the top, for which we would use for frying bread for breakfast. Super delicious!
I really love this channel, especially the laid back way of doing things. BTW, you could as well use some slices of white bread to soak up all the fat - perfect for a really nice fried bread as a snack while cooking the veggies.
Very good video, and I like that you addressed the fond in the bottom of the pot. It took me a while to stop freaking out when it builds up in my Lodge Dutch oven and realize, 'that's a GOOD thing.' I usually cut everything a little smaller; I use Guinness Extra Stout and I've never felt a need to balance it with sugar; I like my stew with a little more liquid at the end; and I usually thicken it with a roux made from equal parts flour and skimmed fat, that I brown a little. But I would chow down on your version in a heartbeat....
OMG! The taste tester looks unrecognizable! He is getting SO big! Tell him to stop growing 😊 And what a tough job he has tasting all your delicious meals. That stew looked amazing and definitely a recipe I will try very soon! Thanks for sharing! I love your channel!
A bacon and beef stock. Perfectly healthy. ❤ Heart health forward. This recipe is so inviting, I’m not sure if I can refuse the string instinctual urge to make it right this moment.
My mom used to stew her beef with Red Stripe beer. It's been a while since I've had that,but it used to be a favourite. Maybe I will make this recipe one day.
Another keep it real-recipe for keep-it-real-people. Great one! On a side note, the change of light in the living room in the back also gives the feeling that this is no studio fake cooking bullshit!
I just added all ingredients to my list, not sure if I am going to make this for St Paddy’s day or 2 days later for my late brother’s birthday, I think he would have loved this.
As always, I so appreciate the tips and tricks and lessons on cooking that are in every video!! One question I'd love to see you cover (maybe in your podcast?): I'm cursed with an electric stovetop and managing your heat is so much harder because it doesn't increase/decrease immediately the way gas does. Do you think it's a good idea to buy a portable stove like you use in your videos for dishes where you need that kind of heat management? I'm hoping to have gas installed at my house so I can buy a gas oven in the next two years but in the meantime, I'd love any tips you have for those of us stuck with electric stovetops.
This looks amazing. Thank you for what looks to be a great recipe where I get to use Guiness. My husband was gifted a variety pack that he really dislikes for drinking, so now I get to use it for cooking. Lol
Looks great 👍, I also add more potatoes, old school I use fatback🍺, using fat back I trim the heavy fat off roast, the fat can use for hashbrowns 👍, bottom round is great way to go, I mean it's a very interpreted stew, I've done with shanks, even did with a pork shoulder, venison ect. If have juniper berries add a few on a bundle with thyme. Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes 😂🤣, can't have enough

Try ordering some bacon from Harringtons in Vermont. Trust me it will be a flavor you will notice in a good way
As an Irish man from Dublin. I wouldn’t add Worcestershire sauce, however this is a fantastically made recipe and would be very happy being fed this, just like everything you do.
Thank You buddy
I'm curious as to why you would omit the worcestershire. I think it deepens the beef flavor.
@@jane-cn6nd it's not Irish
@@jonathanshjrne3690 fair enough

I was gonna say, if you used russet potato mash one need not add the cornstarch 😉
Kerry Gold Butter is Soooo Good 👍! I like to use it to roast vegetables and just add some good Salt and Fresh Ground Peppercorn Medley...
Best to let stew sit all day or overnight.
Never eat to right away. Yuck
KerryGold Butter 🧈

Wow, that was fast!
Nice job, but in Ireland we don't use any garlic.
When my Mam used to make this she'd use beef shin (it goes super soft syrupy in texture) peeled potatoes, and she would make it a day in advance, leaving it in the fridge, any accumulated fat can be peeled directly off the top, for which we would use for frying bread for breakfast. Super delicious!
I really love this channel, especially the laid back way of doing things.
BTW, you could as well use some slices of white bread to soak up all the fat - perfect for a really nice fried bread as a snack while cooking the veggies.
Very good video, and I like that you addressed the fond in the bottom of the pot. It took me a while to stop freaking out when it builds up in my Lodge Dutch oven and realize, 'that's a GOOD thing.'
I usually cut everything a little smaller; I use Guinness Extra Stout and I've never felt a need to balance it with sugar; I like my stew with a little more liquid at the end; and I usually thicken it with a roux made from equal parts flour and skimmed fat, that I brown a little. But I would chow down on your version in a heartbeat....
This looks so good! Everything Ive made from this channel has been spit on great!!!! Cant wait to try this
draught beer is the British spelling for draft beer (pronounced the same). Like Worchester somehow equals wooster... Love the videos, thank you!
OMG! The taste tester looks unrecognizable! He is getting SO big! Tell him to stop growing 😊 And what a tough job he has tasting all your delicious meals. That stew looked amazing and definitely a recipe I will try very soon! Thanks for sharing! I love your channel!
Looks delicious I’m sure it is delicious ❤ whole pot gone in one sitting! Thanks for sharing
I just made this and it is awesome. Thanks
I made this Stew and it was so delicious. Best stew ever 10/10
Just made this last night. Turned out fantastic.
Wow, this looks amazing.
Love your cooking ❤️ I’ve made your beef bourguignon 3 times now and it is the best!! 😋
I made this Stew after your video dropped & I just used bacon fat I had saved in the fridge...I agree with your son, it was a 10 **********
I WILL be making this!!!! YUMMO! Looks SO delicious!!! ❤
I want to make this next week. It looks so good. Thanks for the recipe.
I have two of those chairs in my living room. One is my favorite reading chair.
The marbling in that chuck looks amazing 🤤
Looks Fantastic!! , delicious
Great technique! I'm looking forward to trying this Guiness sstew.
Great looking stew. That’s my weekend project. Thank you.
A bacon and beef stock. Perfectly healthy. ❤ Heart health forward.
This recipe is so inviting, I’m not sure if I can refuse the string instinctual urge to make it right this moment.
Your son has grown up right in front of our eyes since your early videos.
My mom used to stew her beef with Red Stripe beer. It's been a while since I've had that,but it used to be a favourite. Maybe I will make this recipe one day.
Another keep it real-recipe for keep-it-real-people. Great one! On a side note, the change of light in the living room in the back also gives the feeling that this is no studio fake cooking bullshit!
This is such a great dish! 😋Tip: if you want more flavor and texture from the bacon, put it in the stew minutes before serving 😊
I just added all ingredients to my list, not sure if I am going to make this for St Paddy’s day or 2 days later for my late brother’s birthday, I think he would have loved this.
As always, I so appreciate the tips and tricks and lessons on cooking that are in every video!! One question I'd love to see you cover (maybe in your podcast?): I'm cursed with an electric stovetop and managing your heat is so much harder because it doesn't increase/decrease immediately the way gas does. Do you think it's a good idea to buy a portable stove like you use in your videos for dishes where you need that kind of heat management? I'm hoping to have gas installed at my house so I can buy a gas oven in the next two years but in the meantime, I'd love any tips you have for those of us stuck with electric stovetops.
This looks amazing. Thank you for what looks to be a great recipe where I get to use Guiness. My husband was gifted a variety pack that he really dislikes for drinking, so now I get to use it for cooking. Lol
Jim & Tara- I love Guinness Beef Stew. Thank you for the recipe.
Oh my gosh! James is getting so big! Can't wait to make this before it gets too hot down here in TX
I’ve made this in a crock pot. I’m going to have to try it this way. With bacon. 🤤
Yummy! I haven't had an old fashioned beef stew in a long time.
YAY James is back! Love that kid.
Looks great 👍, I also add more potatoes, old school I use fatback🍺, using fat back I trim the heavy fat off roast, the fat can use for hashbrowns 👍, bottom round is great way to go, I mean it's a very interpreted stew, I've done with shanks, even did with a pork shoulder, venison ect. If have juniper berries add a few on a bundle with thyme. Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes 😂🤣, can't have enough
1st class cooking big W from ireland
Man I glad I stumbled onto this channel. Looks great
Welcome! i am about 20 recipes deep from here and every single one has been awesome
Thank you, Mr. Jim, thank you.
Your Taste Tester is your mini me..awesome recipe..
Looks good a 10..yahoo !!!
Great recipe. As a working class Irish person though my mother would probably do half the beef and twice the potatoes
I love making Beef Guinness Stew for winter and St. Patrick's Day. It's very comforting when it's cold.
James is so adorable with the new haircut. I'm sure he could eat that bowl, and ten more, and that will help him bulk up!
You are blessed with your family 😊
