3 large russet potatoes, diced
450g baby carrots
1 large onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
15ml olive oil, or to taste
900g beef chuck roast, cubed
1 (16 ounce) bottle stout beer, divided
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
240ml beef broth
15ml garlic powder
15ml onion powder
15ml smoked paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Step 1
In a slow cooker, combine the diced potatoes, baby carrots, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the cubed beef and cook until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker with the vegetables.
Step 3
Pour 60ml of the stout beer into the same skillet and bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
Step 4
Add the remaining stout beer, beef broth, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker.
Step 5
Cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
