Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds moose meat (cubed)
• 12 fluid ounces Guinness beer
• 2 cups beef stock
• 3 carrots (sliced)
• 4 medium potatoes (cubed)
• 2 celery stalks (chopped)
• 1 large onion (diced)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the moose meat with salt and black pepper, then brown it in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned meat and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour in the Guinness beer, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze and lift browned bits.

Step 8

Add the beef stock, thyme, bay leaf, and browned moose meat back to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the stew simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 10

Add the potatoes to the stew and simmer for an additional 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
