After reading San Diego’s Janette McLintocks recipe for Beef Stew with Guinness in the Big Blend Magazine, I had to try it. It was delicious winter comfort food.

I followed Janette’s recipe using homemade beef stock as she suggested. I added sliced parsnips to the carrots for that sweet touch. I also had a few sips of Guinness while I smelled the tantalizing aromas wafting through my kitchen.

Since we invited two hungry men to share this hearty stew, there was not much left. This is a perfect Sunday Superbowl supper. Make it the day before for great results. Serve a dark, strong beer such as Guinness or Black and Tan-Guinness with Bass ale.
