BEEF STEW WITH BEER

This rich and delicious Beef Stew with Beer is cooked slowly until the beef is tender and falling apart. This soup makes a savory, quick and delicious meal any day of the week.

Beef Stew with Beer

This is a hearty, comforting stew recipe. I used beer to flavor it, but you can substitute beef broth if you prefer. Also, this is a rustic soup or stew so you don’t have to be precise with chopping the vegetables. Big irregular chunks add to the appeal.

Furthermore, you can make it a slow cooker instead of a Dutch oven. It works either way.

BEEF STEW WITH BEER

Beef and root vegetables simmered in beer make them succulent and tender!
This stew has a tomato base with beer, Worcestershire sauce, and beef bouillon that make it a savory stew with a medley of rich flavors.

I was pleased with the way it tasted. I cooked it low and slow for a couple of hours. It had a rich deep flavor and I couldn’t taste the beer. You could substitute any root vegetable, but I prefer potatoes and carrots, I’m just a classic stew type gal…except for the beer part! To be honest with you, it was even better the second day. If you’re not a beer drinker, not to worry, you won’t even know it’s in there. I couldn’t smell it. I couldn’t taste it. You could always substitute beef stock for the beer.

Rich and layered with flavors, this Beef Stew with Beer will warm you on a cold day.

    I know this may sound strange, but I am not a cook, so would I follow the same directions if I wanted to cook in slow cooker?

    Thanks

    Good, needs a little more Worcestershire sauce, like 2T or 1 1/2T instead. I used Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and enjoyed it greatly.

    I have just put my braised beef recipe on your links. So gorgeous and you can't taste the beer, but it does give it body! I found there are some beers that are just not powerful enough but if you get the unusual ones they seem to enrich the gravy a bit more. Love your post and will give yours a go! Chel x
