    St. Patrick’s Day Beef and Guinness Stew

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video

    My library of electric skillet recipes is as vast as it is delicious, so I think you'll really enjoy what I've cooked up for you today. Try out this amazing take on a St. Patrick's Day beef and Guinness stew, made in an electric frying pan, to celebrate the holiday.

    St. Paddy's Day is a time for food, fun and festivities for everyone. Irish or not, you can still join in in all sorts of ways.

    Whether you're knocking back a pint at the local pub or staying in to eat something delicious, it's a good day to get down with some culture. I've got you covered on that latter point with this one-pan beef and black beer stew.

    It is a deliciously hearty beef meal (just like this beef and cabbage soup). No matter if you're hosting a party or just chilling out alone, it's the kind of dish that really makes you feel like celebrating when you eat it.

    For a side dish option, I highly recommend slow cooker cabbage and bacon. I usually serve it with this easy grasshopper pie for dessert.

    For a festive twist, top your accompanying drinks or desserts with green peppermint whipped cream and wash it all down with a black fog cocktail for some extra black beer goodness.

    Ingredients

    • sirloin steaks - Sirloin steaks are a type of beef cut that are tender and flavorful. They aren't great for slow-cooking, but perfect for this quick-cooking stew.
    • bacon - Just pick your favorite or whatever you have on hand. Bacon helps add plenty of rich, smoky flavor to the stew.
    • beef broth - You can use regular or low-sodium if you prefer.
    • Guinness beer - Or your preferred black beer.

    *Check recipe card for full ingredients/amounts.

    Chef's Note: You can add an extra boost of flavor and texture with some root vegetables like baked turnip fries or even some cubed potatoes if you're into that.
