For Thickening

Instructions

  • Combine flour, salt, & pepper in a bowl. Coat the beef in a flour mixture. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot. Shake off any excess flour and brown the beef in small batches. Remove and set aside in a bowl.
  • Add the chopped onions to the pot and cook until they begin to soften about 3 minutes. Remove and add to the coated beef cubes. Pour the beer into the pot while scraping up any brown bits in the pan with a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir in beef broth, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Add in all remaining ingredients except for the cornstarch and water and simmer for another 45 minutes or until the beef is tender. Mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the stew to reach desired consistency.
