I posted this recipe in the St. Paddy's thread, but it's great Fall/Wintertime eating also:
Guiness Stew
3.5 lbs stew meat cubed
5 carrots sliced
2 onions chopped
2 turnips cubed
3 lbs red potatos cubed
4 cups chicken broth
1 1/4 cup Guinness
1 tbl thyme
1 tbl brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 oz. bittersweet chocolate chopped
4 tbl oil
1/4 cup flour
Salt and pepper meat and brown on all sides in 2 tbsp oil in large skillet, put in crock pot.
Brown onions in deep skillet (5 min) and add broth, beer, thyme, sugar, chocolate and bayleaves. Bring to a boil, scrape bits from bottom of pan.
Place carrots, potatos and turnips in the crock pot and pour onion/broth mixture in, stir and cook
9-10 hours on low (6-7 hours on high)
Last 15 minutes whisk 1/4 cup flour into another 1/3 cup Guiness, pour into pot and stir (carefully so you don't bust up the meat.
Serve with bread and of course, beer.
