Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute boneless beef short ribs, gravy beef, or beef brisket for beef chuck steaks; dark beer, stout, or beef stock for Guinness; and beef stock for low-salt chicken stock.

    We are this with fresh rye bread and I think it felt a lot less rich as a consequence. Also left out 2 cups of stock and swapped in pork bones for the bacon.

    Had no bacon - turned out fine without it. Agree with other commenters that liquid needs to be reduced.

    Good stew, but totally agree with Leo and anya_sf that the liquid needs to be reduced. I started with 1 cup less broth and still had to remove the meat and veggies and reduce further. I added peas when I reheated. It is better the second day so try to make it in advance.

    This was delicious. I used my judgement on the amount of liquid and ended up using a lot less stock than suggested. Would probably reduce the flour next time. My meat (beef chuck )was cooked in 2.5 hours in an 160c fan oven. Mash is an essential.

    I had closer to 2 lbs beef. Everything easily fit in a 5.5 qt Dutch oven, but the meat was completely submerged. Cooking instructions worked except there was too much liquid in the end, so I removed the meat and vegetables to reduce the liquid. Made a day ahead, the flavor definitely improved overnight. I added frozen peas when reheating and served over mashed potatoes - delicious.
