Beef & Guinness

Ingredients

• 1/4 LB butter
• 1 LB beef chuck (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 large onion (sliced thin)
• 4 carrots, peeled & sliced
• 1/4 tsp. each thyme, parsley, salt & black pepper
• 1 C beef stock
• 1 pint Guinness Stout
• 4 medium potatoes (peeled & sliced)

Directions

For those cold, blustery nights, this will warm you right up!:)

Heat the butter in a skillet, and then brown the beef (stirring once or twice). Remove the beef from the skillet, and then add the onions (cooking in the fat). Cook the onions until they are softened (about three minutes), and then return the meat to the skillet. Add the thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, beef stock and Guinness stout, stirring well. Bring mixture to a boil. Transfer skillet to a 350 degree oven and bake for 45 minutes (or until the meat is done, and the vegetables are tender). Thicken the sauce with more butter if necessary (or add a mix of water and cornstarch). Garnish with more parsley and serve.
