Beef and Guinness Stew

A delicious stew to prepare yourself for the chilly evenings. The beef cooks nice and slow to become tender and the Guinness mixed with the seasoning creates a delicious sauce.

It’s also great for leftovers and is freezable - I had I leftovers for my lunch a couple of days later. I served mine up with seasonal veggies but could also be enjoyed with potatoes if you’d like some carbs.
