Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1 onion, diced

  • 3 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle Irish stout
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the beef stew meat in the slow cooker and season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, and cabbage wedges on top of the beef.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Irish stout, beef broth, minced garlic, tomato paste, and dried thyme until smooth.

  • Add the bay leaves, cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.

Notes

If the broth tastes too bitter after cooking, stir in an extra teaspoon of tomato paste to round it out. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for three days and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth to loosen the texture.
