want your beef stew recipe

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

2 pounds of beef stew meat (cubed)
3 medium sized potatoes (peeled and cubed)
2-3 cloves of garlic (sliced)
2 medium sized onions (chopped)
2 stalks of celery (chopped)
Either 2-3 carrots, chopped or a couple cups of baby carrots
3 tbls. of veg. oil
1 bottle of beer (the darker the better - I used a dark brown ale)
1 tbls. of salt
2 tsp. of ground black pepper
2 tsp of ground white pepper
1 12 oz. bottle of dark beer
3 1/4 c. water (1/4 c. reserved)
1/4 c. cornstarch
2 bay leaves

In a large pot or pan with a lid, heat the oil and brown your beef on all sides. Then add the 3 c. water, beer, salt, both kinds of pepper, garlic, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover for an hour.

After an hour, add your vegetables and cover again for 30 minutes.

At 30 minutes, mix the corn starch and remaining water to form a roux and add it to the stew. Bring it to high heat for five minutes or until the stew has thickened. Taste the stew and add any additional seasoning - last night we added a bit more salt and a tad more white pepper.

Serve with warm bread or biscuits.
