The full flavour of dark ale goes well with beef.
Serves 4-6
2 pounds Stew meat
3 Tablespoons Flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons Oil
2 cups Onions, diced
1 1/2 cups Carrots, diced
1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
1/2 cup Crushed tomatoes
1 cup Irish stout ale
2 cups Beef broth
1/2 teaspoon Thyme
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet. Toss the beef, flour, salt
and pepper in a large bowl. Add the beef to the hot oil and
brown well. Add the remaining ingredients. Slowly bring to
a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the beef and
vegetables are tender (about 1 1/2 hours). Serve warm with
bread.
