Expert Tips That I Recommend

To enjoy a rich, deep flavor, first brown the beef well, then add the other ingredients.
Deglaze the pot with Guinness and scrape up the browned bits stuck to the bottom to boost the flavor.
For a rich, thick gravy, toss the beef in a little flour before cooking.
Add tomato puree and chicken stock only after deglazing. Then stir for 2-3 minutes, until well combined.
I prefer to sauté vegetables along with thyme and bay leaves to add maximum flavor, until tender.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets

Keto Version: Swap Guinness for beef broth, apple cider vinegar, and cocoa powder. Swap sugar for monk fruit sweetener and limit tomato by adding only 2-3 tablespoons. Replace carrots with mushrooms and celery to enjoy a keto version.
Gluten Version: Replace Guinness beer with beef stock.

FAQs About Gordon Ramsay Beef And Guinness Stew

Which is the best beer for beef stew?

For beef stews, we recommend using porter. These beers have a lot of caramelized and toasted malt flavors that may work very well with slow-cooked meat.

How can you thicken Guinness stew?

Whisk a teaspoon of flour into cold water to make a slurry, then stir it into the stew while it cooks. Don’t add dry flour directly to the stew, as it may clump. After adding the slurry, bring the stew to a boil. This will help thicken the stew.

How can we make stew more flavorful?

Cook your stew with fresh herbs, except thyme, as other herbs lose their flavor when they are cooked. So add dried spices at the beginning of the cooking time and fresh spices (like parsley, dill, tarragon, or rosemary) at the end to add a punch of fresh flavor.

How can I make my Guinness stew less bitter?

If the stew is bitter, try adding a touch of honey or brown sugar.
