Guinness Beef Stew in a Crock Pot

I love this stew, it is the best I have ever had! Tried it both with Guinness stout and draught (and once with Murphy's Irish Stout, and using a stout beer is the way to go. Gives it a richer flavor, not that flavor is lacking in this recipe. Works great in a crock pot, but I love it in a cast iron dutch oven too! You can use it to brown the meat and add the other ingredients and just pop it in the oven, I did 3 hours at 300 degrees but I am sure time/temp can be successfully tweaked. Thanks c.walsh for this recipe, I have passed it on to many family members!

Fantastic! Everyone loved it and wanted more. I used only 2 bay leaves, regular white mushrooms, only one can of tomato sauce and forgot the peas. I cooked it in the crock pot on high for 5 hours. I only had cans of Guinness on hand and used a whole can (14.9 oz). I'll definitely make this again.

Yummmm! This was very tasty. I was out of celery, so I skipped that bit and used a stout I had on hand other than Guinness. I also used 2 small mock tenderloin roasts and put this in a 350 degree oven for 2.5 hours. I normally am not a big fan of stew, but this one is wonderful! (It was a bit salty though, so next time I will omit the salt in the recipe and add it individually if needed)

I thoroughly enjoyed the recipe as the Guinness provides a deep, rich flavor. I halved the entire recipe, except the beer and it just fit in my large crockpot. An entire beer in a halved recipe was excellent. I think next time I will try the full amounts and just use two crockpots because my husband and I both thought this was one of the best recipes we've tried and the leftovers are just as excellent. Thanks for sharing c.walsh!

Unbelievable. I followed the recipe exactly except to use a different creole seasoning, and it was fantastic. Very easy to prep, and the flavors were excellent. My husband's only suggestion was that it "could be thicker". I tossed the beef cubes in the flour mixture and then discarded the flour that did not stick to the beef -- perhaps that should have gone in the pot too... Oh well! Everyone else loved it, and it was perfect for feeding a hungry crowd on St. Patrick's Day.

Served this at an Irish themed dinner party. It was fan-tas-tic! I let everything sit in the crock pot all day and then, about 20 mins before dinner was to be served, ladled it out in a deep (large) corning ware dish and put a layer of phyllo on top. I then baked it for 20 mins or so at 350 to crisp the phyllo. It easily served eight of us and was delicious. There was enough leftovers for the four guys to have seconds of the stew (minus the "crust" as we finished that off rather quickly). Great recipe and I'll definitely serve it again!

Wonderful! I have made many stews over the years but this one is definitely at the top of the list. The only change I made was that I used "beef onion soup" mix. I can't say enough good things about this stew! Definitely a keeper.

Fantastic- very rich and flavorful. I didn't have creole seasoning, so I don't know how much of a difference it would have made. Regardless of the omission, my family and I loved this recipe. Thanks for posting.

Mmm - this is wonderful! Rich in flavor! I'm so sad that I don't have any leftovers!! I did run late from shopping and decided to make the stew in the oven. I used a 300 degree oven and stewed it for 3 hours.

So good and rich. My only regret was that I was actually home while it cooked all day and had to smell the wonderful aroma for 8 hours. My husband and I both loved it and will make it again.
