Hearty beef and beer stew recipe

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

2 pounds stew beef

2 tablespoons oil

1 onion, chopped

3-4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 can beer (12-16 ounces)

2-3 cups beef stock

1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 tablespoon paprika

4 carrots roughly chopped

4 potatoes roughly chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Parsley for garnish

Directions:

Over medium-high heat, place oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Brown beef for a minute and set aside on a plate. To the pot, add onions and cook for two to three minutes; then stir in garlic and cook for a minute. Pour in beer and two cups beef stock (save the other cup for later if needed). Mix in tomatoes, tomato paste, paprika, salt and pepper. Add beef back to the pot. Cover and turn heat down to low. Simmer for two to 2-1/2 hours. Add more stock if sauce is too thick. Mix in carrots and potatoes. Cover and cook for another hour, stirring halfway. Sauce will become thick. Add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve in bowls and garnish with parsley.
