Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 pounds stewing beef, cut into slices
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 leeks, sliced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 cups Guinness
• 2 cups beef stock
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 6 ounces pearl onions, peeled
• 6 – 8 carrots, sliced on an angle
• 1/4 cup flour
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Heat the oil in a pan and brown the meat on all sides. Transfer to a plate. Saute the onion, leeks, carrots, and celery for 5 minutes. Add the meat back to the pan along with the garlic. Add the Guinness and stock. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the meat from the pan, strain the cooking liquid and reserve. Discard the vegetables. Saute the onions and carrots in the butter for 5 to 10 minutes. When the vegetables begin to soften, sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring, over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then slowly blend in the reserve cooking liquid. Whisk until smooth. Add the meat back to the pan and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the sauce is very thick.

Serves with brown soda bread.

Serves 4.
