Ingredients You’ll Need

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 can or bottle beer
• 4 cups beef broth (more as needed)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 to 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 carrots, roughly sliced
• 2 parsnips, roughly sliced
• 1 small turnip, roughly sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional)
• Minced fresh parsley, for garnish

Cooking Instructions

1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the beef stew meat, searing until browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside.

2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, toss in the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

3. Build the Stew Base: Pour in the beer and beef broth. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, sugar, paprika, salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Return the browned beef to the pot.

4. Simmer for Tenderness: Cover the pot and let the stew simmer on low heat for 1 ½ to 2 hours. If the liquid gets too low, feel free to add in extra beef broth as needed.

5. Add the Vegetables: Once the beef is tender, stir in the carrots, parsnips, and turnips. Continue to simmer for another 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

6. Thicken the Stew (Optional): If you prefer a thicker stew, remove a cup of the cooking liquid and whisk it with the flour until smooth. Stir this mixture back into the pot and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes, which should help thicken it nicely.

7. Final Touches: Before serving, sprinkle the minced fresh parsley over the stew for an added touch of color and flavor.
