Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, add beef and season with salt and pepper. Add flour and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
-
In a very large cookpot or Dutch oven, fry the bacon over medium-high heat. When cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
-
Working in batches, place the flour-coated beef into the pot and brown on all sides. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate while working on the next batch.
-
Add the onions to the pot and cook 10 minutes or until slightly browned, adding more oil if needed. Add garlic and cook for one minute.
-
Add the Guinness to the pot to deglaze the bottom, then bring to a boil for 2 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and parsnip and mix well.
-
Return the bacon and beef to the pot. Add in all remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
-
Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to Low and cover. Simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
