Instructions

Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the beef in batches. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and stir well to coat the vegetables.
Gradually pour in the Guinness, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Return the beef to the pot, then add the beef broth, carrots, potatoes, celery, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and the stew is thickened.
Remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, use a quality cut of beef with good marbling, like chuck roast.
This stew tastes even better the next day after flavors have melded.
You can cook this in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours or in the oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 2.5 hours.
Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
