5 pounds of rump roast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Salt and pepper

1/4 cup of flour

Neutral oil

2 large onions, chopped

5 minced garlic cloves

1 teaspoon of celery salt

1 teaspoon of dried thyme

6-ounce can of tomato paste

2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce

20 ounces of Guinness beer

32 ounces of stock

1 tbsp Kitchen Bouquet


Thoroughly season the beef pieces with salt and pepper, then coat them with flour. Prepare a large skillet and a Dutch oven for cooking. In the skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer the browned meat to the Dutch oven. Browned meat is yummy, so ensure it develops a nice dark color!

After browning all the meat, reduce the heat under the skillet to medium-low. Add the onions and cook until they become translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Then, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Mix in the celery salt, thyme, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. To deglaze the skillet, gradually stir in the beer, scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom. Pour this mixture over the beef in the Dutch oven. Add the beef stock and Kitchen Bouquet, which is a liquid used for browning and seasoning sauces.
