Instructions
- Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add olive oil.
- Once oil is hot, add beef and brown on all sides. This should take approximately 8 minutes.
- Add onion, celery, and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly soft and fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and thyme. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the lager and beef stock. Cover with a lid and allow to simmer for 1 hour.
- After beef has been simmering for one hour, add carrots and potatoes. Continue cooking until the carrots and potatoes are fork-tender, another 20-25 minutes. If at any point the stew gets too dry, add additional beef stock.
- Remove from heat and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
- Enjoy!
