Background

The cold winds of March make you need a warm and satisfying meal to keep you going - so with the spirit of St Patrick in the air, this Beef and Guinness Stew is just the fella! Here I'm using a pressure cooker because not only is it quicker and more efficient but it's also (in my opinion) more deeply flavoursome. If you prefer (or don't have a pressure cooker) you can cook it in a casserole in the oven for about 2 ½ hours.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp sunflower oil
1 kg stewing beef
1 brown onion
6 carrots
2 sweet potatoes
2 Tbsp gram or corn flour
500 ml stout (e.g.Guinness)
a beef stock cube
pinch of sugar (optional)
3 bay leaves
a sprig of thyme

Instructions

Cut the beef into chunks. Likewise the onions, carrots and sweet potatoes.
Put the pan over a medium heat and, when the oil is hot, brown the meat all over, then remove to a bowl.
Put in the vegetables and stir for a couple of minutes to soften. Add the flour and stir some more.
Pour in the stout, then turn up the heat and stir in the crumbled stock cube, sugar & herbs.
Cook under high pressure for 30 minutes then allow to cool by itself.
Serve with mashed root vegetables of your choice.

Tips

Ordinary plain flour can be used instead of the gram or cornflour if wheat is not a problem for you.
