Preparation

Step 1

Brown beef in 2 T. oil in a large pot, over medium-high heat, 8 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl and set aside; reduce heat to medium.

Add 2 T. oil and onion to the pot and sweat, covered, until soft, 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste, cook until paste darkens, 2 minutes. Add flour, stir to coat and cook 1 minute.

Deglaze with beer, scraping any bits from the bottom of the pot, then add both broths, beef and its juices and thyme. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 1 hour.

Stir in potatoes and carrot. Cook until potatoes are tender, 12 minutes, then add peas, cabbage, salt and pepper; simmer 5 minutes.
