Method

  1. Cook the onions, thyme and garlic with a little olive oil in a large casserole until the onion is softened and translucent. Dust the braising steak in the seasoned flour and brown in a hot pan with a little oil.
  2. When the beef has a good, even colour, add it to the pan with the onions and pour in the Guinness. Top up with the stock to just cover the beef.
  3. Cover and simmer over a very low heat or transfer to a 150C/fan 130C/gas 3 oven for 2-3 hours until the beef is meltingly tender (check after 2 hours). Season to taste and add some chopped parsley. The Marquess serves this with colcannon.

    Made this today,the beef was beautifully tender,as expected with the amount of cooking time but we did find the sauce a little bitter I have other recipes for a very similar dish using guinness and they add some sugar,which I eventually did. Tasty,simple dish but wouldn't make again.

    Delicious. I added chestnut mushrooms and was glad I did as they created a bit more moisture for the gravy which we couldn't get enough of.

    I left the meat in one piece, and left it to marinate with the onions, in the Guinness overnight. I cooked it very slowly on the gas, it was fantastic, I will make it again, maybe doubling the portions.

    I used half the amount as had a small packet of regular beef chunks, with the same amount of onions and dried thyme instead. I chucked it in the slow cooker after browning the meat for the whole day and served it with mustard mash- really tender and delicious! Will make again!

    I love this dish. It's so easy to prepare and so moreish. After reading the other comments I cooked the dish for much longer than suggested.

    I made this today for St Patrick's Day for 6 people. I added celery & carrots & used 3 packs of stewing steak. After 3 hours the beef was still quite chewy so I upped the temp to 180 & cooked for another hour or so. I also added a teaspoon of sugar as Guinness quite bitter. I made it with the colcannon & I must say it was absolutely delicious! The gravy was so rich & had a gorgeous flavour. I served it with crusty bread & butter. I will definitely make this again but cook it for a good 5 hours so the beef falls apart.
