Instructions

  • Add the oil to a heavy bottom pan or dutch oven. Once the oil is warm, add the beef. Season with salt & pepper, then cook on medium high heat, until all sides are browned.
  • Remove the meat from the pan and set aside. Leave the oil in the pan.
  • Add the onions and carrots to the dutch oven, stirring constantly. Cook until soft and fragrant.
  • Add the garlic and cook for about a minute or until fragrant, then add the tomato paste, stirring to coat everything. Allow to cook for a minute longer, to cook off some of the acidity.
  • Add the Guinness & Worcestershire sauce and de-glaze the pan, scrapping the brown bits off of the bottom of the pan, then bring to a simmer.
  • Add the beef and chicken broth back to the pan, along with the thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let cook for an hour and a half.
  • Add the potatoes, if using, and turnips. Cover and allow to cook for an additional 30 minutes or until they're cooked through.
  • Remove the thyme & bay leaves. At this point, if the stew is still quite runny, mix some cornstarch with a bit of water, then add it to the stew until it thickens and is at the desired consistency.
  • Add the mushrooms and let stew for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve!
