Irish Beef Stew

A hearty stew with big chunks of beef sirloin, carrots and potatoes in a beer-rich gravy, authentic for St. Patrick's Day but a really good basic stew recipe all year round too. I especially like this stew because it needn't cook all day, it's ready in a couple of hours, the chunks of beef already tender, the carrots and potatoes firm and sweet , not mushy from long cooking. Home-style Beef Stew, Simple and Perfect. Hearty & Filling. Budget Friendly. One-Pot Meal. Potluck & Party Friendly. High Protein.
