Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, then remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened.
Stir in the tomato paste, then add the stout beer, scraping the bottom of the pot.
Add the beef back into the pot along with beef broth, carrots, potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 120 to 150 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
Adjust seasoning if necessary and serve hot.

Notes

Serve warm with crusty bread or soft rolls. A sprinkle of fresh parsley on top adds a nice touch.
