Ingredients

1 ½poundsyellow potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 2-inch pieces

½cuplow-fat milk

2tablespoonsbutter

¾teaspoonsalt, divided

½teaspoonground pepper, divided

1tablespoonextra-virgin olive oil

1poundlean ground beef

8ouncescremini mushrooms, quartered

1mediumonion, diced

4clovesgarlic, minced

2tablespoonsall-purpose flour

16ouncesstout (see Tip)

1cuplow-sodium beef broth

1tablespoonWorcestershire Sauce

1cupfrozen peas and carrots

Directions

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking into large chunks and flipping occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a clean plate.

Add mushrooms, onion and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until just starting to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Return the beef to the pan and stir in beer, broth and Worcestershire, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the beef and vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes. Add peas and carrots, increase heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the stew is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve with the mashed potatoes, sprinkled with parsley, if desired.

Tip

Use your favorite stout to make this (and to sip alongside it too!), but avoid coffee stouts, which can make the stew bitter. Guinness is nice, or try a craft offering, like Deschutes Brewery Obsidian Stout.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
