Guinness Beef Stew in Bread Bowls

This particular beef stew recipe is certainly not the most traditional or the most minimal, but it does pay homage to its roots with plenty of potatoes. The Guinness adds a nutty, dark seasoning and it keeps the meat tender and moist. The fresh herbs, onion and garlic ensure a broth that is rich in flavor, and the carrots and parsnips add some variety and heartiness. The results are a rich and tender stew whose taste is only further enhanced by the crusty bread bowls that it is served in.
