Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Toss beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper together in a separate bowl. Dredge beef in flour mixture to coat.
Step 2
Heat remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef and brown on all sides. Add onions and garlic. Stir tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour 1/2 cup of beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This adds a lot of flavor to the broth. Pour in remaining beer, and add carrots and thyme. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
