Ingredients

• 800 grams Beef chuck or stew meat
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Yellow onions, diced
• 3 medium Carrots, sliced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, sliced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 500 milliliters Pilsner beer
• 500 milliliters Beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 Bay leaves
• 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 4 medium Potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Pat the beef chunks dry with a paper towel, then season them with salt and pepper. Lightly dust the beef with flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until well-browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onions, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen its flavor.

Step 6

Return the seared beef to the pot and pour in the pilsner beer. Scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to deglaze and release any browned bits.

Step 7

Add the beef stock, bay leaves, and fresh thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

After 1 hour, add the cubed potatoes and continue to simmer for another 45-60 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 9

Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Pair with crusty bread and an extra pint of pilsner for the ultimate experience!
