What a wonderful recipe!! I added a bit of salt to mine and some turnip. The sauce was thick and very tasty. Next time I might add some fresh green beans. Great dish!!

AMAZING BEEF STEW. tried this tonight and am in love. Added peas during last 15 min in oven. Would increase carrots, increase broth and beer by a cup each. Cooked liquid off fresh mushroom slices before adding them as directed. Don't use canned mushrooms. Guinness or any heavy beer works best.

I made this stew last year for a halloween party with 60 people, and they loved it! They want me to do it again this year. The best stew I think I've ever had. The beer just really makes it special. Thanks for posting the receipe.

This is great comfort food. The slight sweetness to the broth is wonderful. This is definitely a keeper.

Made this today. We bought a huge sirloin roast, so I cubed 2 pounds of that meat. Left out the mushrooms and onion because I don't like them, and then used 1 tbps. of butter and 1 tbps. olive oil to brown the meat. Other than that - didn't change a thing - very flavorful! Thanks!
