This Guinness Braised Beef comes out perfectly tender and delicious with just a few ingredients. The Guinness in this recipe makes it the perfect dinner for St. Patrick’s Day. Use two for the recipe and enjoy the rest later in the evening. The beef ends up so tender. The liquid cooks down to be a silky gravy just begging for some mashed potatoes. Check out this tip for mincing the garlic to save you some prep time. We served this over mashed potatoes but it would be good over any style potato, buttered toast, egg noodles, or even green beans if you were watching your carbs. If you have any leftovers it is good with fried potatoes and an egg over it in the morning. Here is another recipe that you can use your dried rosemary and thyme in Roasted Pork Tenderloin. I hope you enjoy!

Guinness Braised Beef
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2-3 pound beef chuck roast cut into 2 inch cubes
- 1 large onion sliced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 bottles Guinness
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and pepper
- chives for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a dutch oven or large pot over high. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Place the beef in the pot and let it sear on one side then flip over to sear the other. You want the meat to be nice and dark brown. Do not move it around or overfill the pot, you may have to do this part in 2 batches. This will take about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Add in the onion, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring often. Add in the beer and enough water so the liquid is almost covering the beef. You do not want the beef to be under the cooking liquid, you want it to come up about 3/4 of the way. Use a wooden spoon and scrape the bottom of the pan to release all the fond (color and good bits from the bottom off the pan) you got from browning the beef.
- Bring this mixture to boil and then lower the heat to low so the beef stays at a soft simmer. Cover it and let it go for 2 to 3 hours until the meat is tender and falling apart. You will want to check on it and give it a stir every half hour or so to make sure it is not too hot or burning. Serve over mashed potatoes or buttered toast with a veggie on the side.

This just made my mouth water. And it’s so easy to make: you just throw everything in a pot, and let it do it’s thing. I’ll definitely give a try next time I buy some chuck roast.
