"I make this for my in laws whenever they come to stay. Perhaps it will suit your own finicky relatives! Serve with mashed or boiled potatoes, and pickled beets if you have them."

  1. This is sooo good!!! I made this for my husband as he is a Guinness lover. I didn't think I would like it, but it was awesome. Even my one year old loved it! The Guinness makes a great gravy. I served this over garlic mashed potatoes.
     
  2. So easy and so good! I used Guinness draught because that was what we had around and it turned out amazing. I served it over garlic mashed potatoes and it made a perfect meal. This will be a regular Sunday dinner at our house!
     
  3. Lovely, simple & tasty! Thanks
     
  4. I made this for my Guinness loving Dad without much hope of liking it myself. I was surprised though because it was extremely tasty! I used stew meat and it cooked up extremely tender. I did have to add some flour water at the end to thicken up the gravy but that could be just personal preference of how we like our gravy. As suggested, I served with boiled new red potatoes and pickled beets. Dad and DH put there potatoes in a bowl with the meat and ate it like a stew. Mom and I ate them separately. Also made Guinness Beer Bread #55355 which rounded out the meal nicely. Thanks for a great recipe Ppaperdoll!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an American living in London since I got married in 1994 (except for a brief stint in New Jersey, and then Luxembourg). I work part-time for a national charity and also study social sciences part-time with the Open University. Keeps me busy, but I still find plenty of time to cook and search for 'zaar recipes! Over time my cooking has meshed English and American customs together, especially at holiday time. I make a mean Christmas fruitcake complete with Fondant Icing and marzipan, but I still have a Christmas cookie party for my friends where I introduce (or subject!) them to all my favorite cookie recipes. My husband and two kids will happily eat Shepherd's Pie or Sloppy Joes, cheese and onion or grilled cheese sandwiches. The comparisons go on and on...
