Steak and Guinness Stew

[Johnny West]

This is a very nice recipe blog tutorial on an easy to make version of Steak and Guinness Stew. I'd not put the celery in and add the obligatory parsnips I love.

With this cool, damp weather I think I'll give it a go for Wed. night.

the absolute best use I every found for a dark Guiness was venison - you got some, right? try it - it's loveable!

I've got some moose but know where to find venison.

Tonight is Steak and Guinness and will use eye of chuck for the meat.

Well, that didn't happen. S&G is on for tonight. I had a chuck steak and cut the eye out and will save that for the grill. The steak is defatted and will start the frying later this afternoon.

Very nice!!

Thanks Ms Muffin. I have to say it was one of my better offerings but then haven't made it since St. Patrick's Day and was hungry for it. I could fix this once a month but think the next stew will be the Hungarian goulas. I'm craving smoked paprika.

Welcome!

Your simple tutorial and fabulous pictures blew me away.

I WILL be making this once the cold weather gets here.
Oh, I love your CI dutch oven.

Fabulous, Johnny!

Delicious-looking food and I love your soup plate!

Sass, I have the exact same Dutch oven. It works perfectly well, since it's seasoned nicely. Never felt the need to spring for a Le Creuset.

Someday, I think I'd like to get into Dutch oven competitive cooking. Looks like fun, requiring considerably less effort and endurance than competitive barbecue.

I have a large collection of cast iron and love cooking in the dutch oven and all my skillets. I keep a stack on the stove and have more in the garage. And with all the CI there is a huge set of All Clad that is the best stainless out there. I have four dutch ovens, one oval Wagner that is very rare, and a Martha Stewart oval roaster that is a knockoff of a La Creuset which I enjoy using but seldom do. My favorites are one skillet that went through a tornado and a Wagner chicken fryer a friend gave me. Rick, at Rick's Rub, sent me a Griswold cover for it. I put it on the back of the hob, upside down, and use it as a warmer.

I have to say the Steak and Guinness I made was one of my better offerings. The chuck steak was so tender and look forward to grilling the eye.

Last night the mrs said she'd do dinner and made Steak and Guinness Stew with gluten free dumplings. She used a recipe she found on the net and it came out pretty good. I'm ready to do it again.
