Beef and Guinness Casserole
This is my first recipe of the new year. An old favourite recipe for beef casserole recipe but with Guinness and mushrooms but with a twist of a hot ingredient.
Ingredients
1 can of Guinness
3 large onions diced
2 garlic cloves diced
4 cups of bite sized diced beef. I used what we call shoulder steak
30 mushrooms cut in half
1 1/2 tablespoons of horseradish sauce. Mine was a good quality one from the supermarket.
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon of thyme
olive oil for frying
4 tablespoons of plain flour to toss the cut beef in
Method
1. Prepare all ingredients and get out a frying pan and a casserole dish with a lid.
2. Heat some olive oil fry the garlic and onions. Not too hot or the garlic will burn. Fry for about 5 mins and put the garlic and onions into the casserole dish.
3. Toss the beef in flour inside a plastic bag.
4. Fry the beef in small batches to brown the meat. Put each batch into the casserole dish.
5. Fry the mushroomsfor about 5 mins. Add more olive oil as the oil is used up and add to the casserole.
6. Lower the heat of the frying pan. Add some Guinness to the frying pan to soak up all the pan juices. Add to the casserole. Stir the casserole.
7. Add the thyme, salt, pepper and horseradish sauce and mix well with the other casserole ingredients.
8. Add Guinness to the casserole, so it covers the ingredients. If any is left this can be added as the casserole cooks to get the gravy to the correct consistency. It will thicken with the flour.
9. Cover the casserole with foil.
10. Put on the lid. Cook at gas 5--190C--375F for 2 1/2 hours, check after 1 hour add more Guinness. Repeat later.
Serve
Bake some potatoes at the same time.
Roast some leeks and parsnips at the same time.
Remember to put in a pudding such as a bread and butter pudding, baked apples, rice pudding, baked plums at the same time to use the heat whilst the oven is on.
Eat and enjoy
The archives on the right have lots more casserole recipes that are tried and tested by myself.

Beer and beef are such a great combination, this sounds just like comfort food thats for sure
Hi thanks for coming by to the blog. This casserole is good comfort food. It freezes well if you make a lot. I think brown or dark ales would also be good.

Hi there complements of the season to you, I just love you blog you have great recipes and really love going through them, this is real comfort food, nice o know that one can use other ales but we are lucky enough here in South Africa to get Guinness. Its a bit to hot here to have a casserole but will keep this for winter thats for sure
Thanks for coming by Kim and I am glad you enjoy the blog and recipes. From what I remember of my visits to South Africa you have some great red wine. I would use a strong fruity cab sav instead of the beer. All recipes benefit from local produce as substitutes in my opinion.
Enjoy

Hi, this recipe sounds absolutely fantastic! I was just wondering, when you refer to 4 cups of diced beef, I presume braising steak would be satisfactory?
Also, could you let me know the approximate weight of 4 cups of beef - is this about 500g or more/less?
Many thanks!
Hi I use beef that is sold as braising, blade, shoulder or stewing steak.

HI I am not sure of the weight I usually get 2 lbs and freeze left overs
