Irish Guinness Beef Stew

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 300u00b0F. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large Dutch oven. Add the beef, in batches, and fry over a high heat for 4-5 mins until browned all over. Remove and set aside. Add the rest of the oil to the pot and fry the onion, parsnips, celery and carrots over a medium heat for 5 mins.

2. 2

   Gradually stir in the Guinness, scraping any sediment from the bottom of the pot. Add the tomato puree and stock and bring to a boil. Return the beef to the pot with any meat juices and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. 3

   Cover the Dutch oven and cook in the oven for 3 hrs until the beef is very tender, stirring once or twice. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes (if using).
