The Guinness beef stew is a very succulent main dish typical of Irish tradition. A hearty and flavorful dish to enjoy with classic soda bread, perhaps spread with salted butter. The Guinness beef is a meat stew cooked slowly in beer. For this dish, you need to choose a cut of meat rich in connective tissues that makes this meat gelatinous, and for this, I’ve chosen beef shank, while those who want to prepare the original recipe can choose sheep or mutton. Some variations include the addition of potatoes.
