Beef stew is one of my favorite comfort food. But I seldom cook it because the kids do not like it very much. I have tried a few recipes, but all ending in more or less similar taste. So now if I cook beef stew, I just add whatever of the vegetables, herbs, and liquid that are available. I also prefer to use the crockpot.
This Irish beef stew was done just like that, adapted loosely from Simply Recipes. For exact ingredients and cooking method, refer here.

Prepare all ingredients and season beef with sea salt and cracked black pepper
Pan fry beef(800g) and set aside
Pour in a cup of red wine,and let alcohol evaporates
Add in a tablespoon of flour to thicken the mixture
Add in a can of stout
Add the rest of ingredients, One can each of stewed tomatoes and tomato paste. 2 cups of beef broth and a tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
Add two teaspoons of thyme and 2 bay leaves. Transfer to a crockpot and let slow cook till beef is tender. Sal;t and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped parsley, but I like it whole. Eat with rice or bread. A very flavorful and comforting meal on a rainy day. Simply Delish!
