Ingredients
  • 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1kg / 2lbs lean shoulder of beef, cut into 2cm /1 inch chunks
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery sticks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 500ml / 2 cups / 16 fl. oz. Guinness
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 15g / 0.5 oz. dark chocolate (optional)
  • 15g / 1 tbsp corn flour / corn starch (optional)
Instructions

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once your oil is hot, brown the beef. Do it in 2 batches if you need to, to allow an even browning on all pieces. Set aside.

In the same pan, fry the onion, garlic, carrots and celery, about 3-5 minutes, before adding the meat back.

Pour in the stock, Guinness, and bay leaf and season to taste.

Add the chocolate if you find it too bitter.

Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for about 1 hours, or until the liquid has reduced. If the sauce isnt thick enough, remove the meat and carrots from the pan using a slotted spoon. In a small bowl, mix a few tablespoons of sauce with 1 tbsp corn flour, whisk until well combined and pour back into the sauce.

Let boil for about 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened, then tip back the meat.

Serve with mashed potatoes.
