Guinness Beef Stew is a hearty stew with melt in your mouth tender beef and vegetables braised in Guinness Stout! A comfort meal to warm you on a cold winter night. An easy meal to feed a crowd for any day. A Saint Patrick’s Day favorite in my home!
As promised, I said I would be sharing my family and friends favorite easy Guinness Beef Stew! Oh my goodness – this is a wonderful meal! This is one of the most tender and tasty stews ever! My family requests this stew all year, but it is super popular during the Saint Patrick’s Day season! I love it because between getting my youngest to school, Irish dance events and lacrosse. Then my older children and the hubs are all work crazy hours. I need easy food that can be reheated anytime! This is a quick prep recipe and so easy to freeze! If we do not have a set dinner time for a day any of us can take a container out the freezer and reheat a delicious dinner!
I will tell you the truth, I don’t think I have sipped a Guinness! Yet, I have used it in my cooking and baking. Such a delicious flavoring to stews, brownies, glaze for corned beef.. endless possibilities!
I just shared with you my Irish Brown Bread! This pairs with Guinness Beef Stew like salt and pepper, ice cream and chocolate sauce, popcorn and butter…I think you get the idea! Yummo!
What I love so much about this stew is the easiness of the preparation. Then the addition of the veggies, as I have always said with all my recipes, please feel free to adjust for your family. My hubs and the boys love meat, so I add a little extra! My girls and I love the veggies, so for us I add a few more of the parsnips and sweet potatoes. If you like another veggie, substitute. Some of my friends use lamb meat,whatever makes your little stewey, I know, I make up my own words with just about every post,its all good as long as you are happy with your stew!
So my friends, I hope you are all continuing get into the Saint Patrick’s Day season and make my Guinness Beef Stew apart of your families recipe collection! Have some with my Irish Brown Bread! I would love to see you enjoying these recipes. Send me a photo on Instagram with the #everydayeileen!

I am so glad, enjoy!
This looks wonderful! I am pinning and making this next week! And I might even give my hand at making the Irish bread. I traveled to Ireland two years ago and loved all of the food. Thanks!
Stacey, the bread is even easier than the stew – go for it! Please let me kn ow how it goes!
My husband would think he’s in heaven if I made this for him as this is the perfect meal for him. A hearty stew PLUS Guinness in it? Yeah it’d be a winner

I love stew, and this recipe reminds me of Belgium stew which also using beer but a lot thicker. Always enjoy your recipes, very hommy and delicious. I think I’ll try to make this.
Rose,you are so sweet. Thank you for the lovely compliment! You made my day!
I don’t think I’ve ever made stew. This looks like recipe my father in law would love.
I hope he makes it and enjoys
This looks like it would go so perfectly with the brown bread you have already posted! What a fun recipe!
Thank you so much!
This looks so delicious and the recipe is very easy to follow! Definitely a five star dish
You are so kind, thank you !
I wish it was still cool enough here to make this! It looks amazingly delicious! It’ll be 76 in Virginia this week. I need more time to try out soup recipes before summer begins!
That stew looks so amazing! I would love to try this one out on the family.
I love stews especially when I’m not feeling good. I don’t eat beef but I believe you can substitute beef and also add other ingredients to it! Makes me feel like eating it 🙂
I add extra veggies because I limit my beef intake. Feel free to add extra veggies and make it a guinness veggie stew 🙂
I usually use red wine in our beef stew, but love the guinness addition. I love the idea for St Patricks day next week…thanks for sharing
Thank you Michelle! It is a lovely stew for Saint Patrick’s Day
This looks so hearty and comforting on a cold rainy night. Will have to try this for St. Patrick’s Day!
That is great, enjoy! Let me know how the recipe works for you
I love stew and so does my son. He thinks of it as a soupy pot roast which he loves. Perfect for cooler weather.
That is so cute. I hope you make this for your son
Oh how lovely! I will have to share this with some of my Irish buddies as they are looking for new ways to use Guiness!
Super, I hope they enjoy!
Super yum! Guinness stew is a St. Patrick’s Day tradition in our household, but I haven’t tried this version with parsnips. I believe I will have to change that this year! Thanks for sharing this!
That is great news- I hope your family enjoys!
LOVE this post for a few reasons – I LOVE St. Pattys Day and this fits right in. I want to try this recipe this upcoming weekend. Excited for the stew and I want to also do an Irish bread and who knows what else! Going for it! Thanks so much!

I don’t drink Guinness either. It just for some crazy reason makes a great stew!
I’ve never had Guinness myself, but I do love a warm bowl of slow-cooked beef stew. It’s perfect for chilly afternoons.
