I know the day after Thanksgiving most folks are making left overs with the turkey and all the trimmings. Not this girl. I wanted stew. It was a wet, rainy, and all around gross day here in the Northwest. Perfect day for stew.
I popped open the recipe list and fell on to this recipe almost immediately. It had the two components I was looking for warmth and comfort.
Super easy, and very delicious. I actually followed the recipe too, shocking I know. I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Recipe from The Pioneer Woman
Serves 6
3 T olive 0il
1 T butter
2 pounds stew meat
1 whole medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can beer, 12 oz can
4 c beef stock
2 c water (additional, If Needed)
1 T Worcestershire Sauce
2 T tomato Paste
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1-1/2 tsp sugar
4 whole carrots, washed, unpeeled, and roughly sliced
4 whole new potatoes, quartered
Minced parsley (optional)
Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown meat in two batches, setting aside on a plate when brown. Cut pieces in half. Set aside.
Add diced onions to the pot. Stir and cook for two or three minutes until softened, then add garlic for another minute. Pour in beer and beef stock, then add Worcestershire, tomato paste, paprika, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add beef back into the pot. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
*UPDATE: The liquid should cook down to a thicker state. If it gets too thick/reduces too much, add additional water as needed.
Add carrots and potatoes, then cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes. (If stew gets dry, just add a cup of hot water at a time to replenish the liquid.) Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve in bowls next to crusty French bread. Sprinkle with minced parsley, if desired
