Howdy fellas and non fellas and people creating new categories for "themselves"? Who knows! Anyway was a comfort food thread about a month ago and I posted about Guinness stew. End of the year is crazy busy with Emily's Realty business so just getting around to posting. Limited pics as I totally forgot about this but here goes.

Start by frying up about a half pound of chopped bacon. I used my beef bacon. Get it crispy and drain. Keep bacon grease in skillet. Take 2.5lb of stew meat. I actually used tri tip

Coat with 1tsp salt and 1tsp black pepper and coat with flour and brown in the bacon grease. Once browned add beef and bacon to crock pot

Next get 5 or 6 carrots, 2lb of red taters (leave skin on), 2 medium sweet onions, 2 celery hearts and chop everything up into eating size. Add to crock pot

Chop up about 4 sprigs of thyme And 3 cloves of garlic and add to crock pot

Next add a 14.9oz serving of Guinness stout, 4 cups beef broth or until everything is covered, 4tsp tomato paste, couple dashes of hot sauce and couple dashes of Wooster sauce and 2 bay leaves.

Crock pot on low for 8-10 hours

For the last hour add a good portion of baby Bella shrooms cut in half

Didn't get a finished shot but this stuff is delicious and full of flavor. Enjoy!

Also RIP Coach Mike Leach and Hail State!

Very nice Jake. I was just at the local Japanese butcher to get some oxtail to make something very close to that. Unfortunately, they only had really small so I decided against. Maybe the tri tip is the answer. Yours looks delicious.

And of course a few Guinness for the cook.

Thanks Ray. The tri tip was a pleasant mistake. Asked Emily to bring home a chuck roast and that's what I got lol.
