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

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.

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.

This a favorite of ours. I’m doing it as she over bought parsnips. I found two long out of date fillet mignons in the freezer so am splurging on steak. I’ll cheat and use Pillsbury Biscuits.

A gal at a facebook group I go wanted the recipe. All my amounts are estimations of what I think will fill the dutch oven. This is what I posted to her.

"It’s pretty much the same as beef stew except I use sirloin I cut up myself. I flour the meat and fry in canola or safflower oil, set meat aside then add cut up onions, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and parsnips; a clove of chopped garlic, salt and pepper to taste, and Marjoram (tsp). To this I add two cans of Guinness and let it simmer till the veg is mostly done Then I add the meat back, and adjust the fluid. Usually it makes it’s own gravy but sometimes have to add flour and milk. Last night it was fine but had to add more beer and could have used more. When it is mostly done I add Pillsbury Grands and place in a 375 degree F oven for 15 min. or so till the biscuits are browned nicely."
