Servings: persons

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 lb beef tips or 1 lb beef stew meat
3 large white onions, sliced
3 large carrots, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer or (12 ounce) bottle ale
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt and pepper

1
Warm the oil in large heavy pot until hot but not smoking. Add cornstarch and season salt to large ziplock bag and shake the meat in it. Brown meat on all sides for about 5 minutes. Transfer browned meat to a plate.
2
Add the onions and butter to the pot and stir over high heat until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and sprinkle in sugar. Continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until nice and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the flour, thyme, and carrots and raise the heat to high. Stir for 1 minute, then pour in beer, letting it come to a vigorous boil. Stir in broth and tomato paste and return to the boil.
3
Return meat and accumulated juices to the pot. Let the liquid come just to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Check on occasion and add beef broth if it is getting too dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
