I’ve replied a few times, Love your channel. Being English this recipe grabbed my attention and I loved making it. The day I saw the video it was cold and rainy in Chicago but the next day that I bought the meat and made it, the weather was sunny and 88! Still everyone enjoyed a home cooked comfort food meal. Thank You! Just as an aside IMO The sauté mode which in a lot of chicken recipes is really helpful, but in this recipe is a bit of a pain. I would brown the meat in a cast iron skillet, deglaze it and then transfer it. And for the gravy I used Bisto. But I loved the recipe. It was truly Joyful!
It says it is a year ago you made this, but it is October now, and so it is starting the Rainy season in Vancouver so it is perfect for the cold wet weather! Perfect timing!!! We are having rain tomorrow when I will be making it!
That’s a great recipe and Guinness stout beef stew is very popular in Irish pubs worldwide. However, traditional Irish stew contains lamb rather than beef, and there are always, always potatoes involved!
Well, I am one of those still dealing with the 80's and 90's. But, I cannot wait to start trying all of these delicious soups and stews. Keep coming with them, because it is some of my all time favorite winter food.
Just made this tonight! Forgot the Worcestor, but it was still fantastic! I like to allow a natural release for meat - makes it very tender. I served it over mashed potatoes- kids and wive were thrilled. Thanks.
I had a lot of trouble with burning on this one. First attempt, released pressure, scraped the bottom and tried again. 2nd time dumped everything into a bowl, scraped the bottom and tried again. 3rd time, dumped everything out, scrubbed and washed out the insert and tried again. 4th time, dumped everything out, scrubbed and washed insert, filtered the broth thru a sieve and tried again. Success! It tasted great.
Thanks Flo. Rainy day here in Washington State. Made it for the wife and I tonight. All I added was potato’s. Came out perfect and delicious. Hit the spot!
I always thought that Irish stew was made with lamb and had potatoes, but this version looks delish. Frankly, we don't eat potatoes often anymore. I had not thought to use short ribs in a stew, but I will try it out thanks to your excellent video.
Hi Flo, that stew looks so rich and flavorful. It's funny how ur instant pot makes you a bit nervous 😆. I love how honest ur husband is when he critics ur cooking because he's not being mean. He's making suggestions!!! Keep up the great work!!! Thx!
AMAZING! I only have a dutch oven but was able to replicate this recipe by cooking everything as directed, but for a much longer time. It turned out great by the 3 hour mark, plus I added cut up yellow potatoes and added peas in my bowl upon serving. Thank you!
I grow a bay laurel plant and have had it for many years.. I say plant bec it's not big enough for a tree.. :D But I get plenty of bay leaves from it. The only thing is with Chicago winters, I have to bring it inside in the winter and it goes back outside in the spring. They're very sturdy and easy to grow. You should see if you can root a nice branch bec dried bay leaves cannot compare to fresh ones. But what I do do when I use my fresh leaves is make a tear on each side of the leaf before dropping it in the pot. I find it helps release the bay flavor better. Stew looks yummy.. can't wait to give it a try..
Nice recipe 😊 if you wanted to make it more authentic i would suggest skipping the tomato puree altogether, perhaps adding some pearl barley and adding some beef stock to the guiness. Either way though im sure it tasted good.
Hi Flo...I am back to say I am making this recipe right now following your guidance, but adding tiny potatoes..can't wait. It smells wonderful. Thank you 🥰
Dude is such a goofball! LOL So, I am part Irish on my mother's side and grew up eating stew in the winter. We don't use beer, but I bet it adds a nice flavor. Mostly my recipe is the same though. I would use one tablespoon of paste and one can of tomato sauce and one can of water or beef broth for the amount you made. I like to use an onion soup mix to punch the flavor up (but only if I use water and not broth), but it isn't traditional. No bay leaves, but definitely thyme, a tad bit of sage and 2 pinches of rosemary. There are always, as you might guess, potatoes in our stew. Just a good white potato or two will do. Here is the secret to a good tomato based stew: Tomatoes are acidic, but definitely use a tablespoon of lemon juice anyway and 2 tablespoons of sugar per can of tomato sauce. Give this a try and see what y'all think. And, yes, it is still so hot even in SW Missouri. Ugh.
You make delicious looking stuff, no doubt about it. I was watching this yesterday and, lazy me, I googled beef stew near me. A place called Rutt's Hawaiian Cafe came up, and I tried some it was a good value. What occurred to me while eating it was that I don't like big soft stringy masses of beef in my stew. My mother-in-law used to make stew with small firmer chunks that was much much better and less messy and stringy to eat. I wonder what the best cut of beef to use for that style of stew would be?
The stew is looking so delicious and I love beef stew so much, especially with potatoes, and onions cooked in it. Your stew must have had Dude tasting a second or third bowl of it after it was cooked.
Hi? I just cooked as your recipe in yesterday.i put tomato paste too much.but luckly it was so good to eat.and I packed lunch box for my highschooler son with it.
Looks yummy, Flo! Irish stew is traditionally made with lamb and I don't like lamb so, I'm glad this is done with beef. Like you, I think I would stick with the short ribs to elevate the flavour of the stew. Can't wait to try this! BTW, remember in spring when you were "boasting" 😉 about the spring weather and I was complaining that it was still cold in Ontario? Well, now, it's "about face". It's still summer where I live! However, again, I'm jealous 'cause I don't really like the super hot weather and I'm waiting for fall! 😊
There is no reason to be kidding about drinking an occasional beer. Nothing wrong with that! Now, I have NOT drunk alcohol in 4+ years, only because I have not had any interest in drinking.But, having a beer in the insta pot and eating the food produced with it is NOT drinking as all the alcohol is burned off! So, I can put a beer in here though I may not have any Guinness... And, I LOVE beef stew!!! Making it tomorrow night!
Hi Flo, It looks incredibly delicious. Could we also use lamb instead of beef short rib and add some mushrooms in as well, since we are cooking it in a pressure cooker ?
Flo you look great! Are you cutting back on portions of your fabulous food and bike riding etc? What ever you are doing it’s working. By the way, this stew looks yummy. We have rain again today so this will be perfect 👌
You are so very kind, Jackie! Nothing has changed. I haven't been going to the gym or getting on a bike as regular as I tried at the beginning. Must get back to it! And definitely have not cut down on my food intake. 😆
Love watching your videos. Your videos are always so inspiring and helpful. I happened to see Dude at toysrus yesterday. I was so excited but just too shy to say hi. Love you guys so much.
Looks great! Not usually a stew fan, but I will definitely try this once I get the cookbook. Hope you adjust your cookbook recipe per Dude's instructions, just in case I don't remember what he said in the video when following the recipe! Thanks!!
Stay cautious around that pressure release. About a zillion years ago I got too close to the pressure valve, the hiss-hiss-hiss thing, on a conventional pressure cooker and got a first-degree burn about the size of a playing card on my forearm. I was hit with a single puff of steam from the valve but that was enough. It just gives me the heebie-jeebies when I watch someone on RU-vid casual flip open the pressure release with one of their own, personal fingers.
Wow, that was a lot of butter to sautee the meat. Their used to be a BBC program called, "Two Fat Ladies" who used to sautee food with a pound of butter. Also, I find drinking a can of Guinness while making this dish makes it more flavorful for some reason ? :)
I've seen short ribs in my local store but never knew what to do with them. I agree with meat packaged as "stew meat". I don't like it. Last time I bought some, it took forever to get tender in my IP. I didn't know it was pieces from different cuts of beef. Will just get chuck roast from now on and cut it myself. Thanks Flo and Dude. Is the Kindle edition already out? That's where I got your first book.
Hi Flo, Do you have a slow cook in InstantPot version? Seems odd, but it is a request from the missus, so she can chuck it all in, in the morning, and come back to a stew after picking up the kid from afternoon class. I looked up timings, and it seems the InstantPot doesn't have the same slow cook temps as an actual slow cooker.
First let me say a huge thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos. Love this recipe such a time saver the hubby is a big fan of both beef bourguignon and Guinness stew. You have made my time in the kitchen so much simpler. Looking forward to the next cookbook. I loved the first so much I bought it with an instant pot for my daughter in law as a Christmas gift the year it came out. Hoping for Christmas gifts again. By the way we need a selection of styles signs with simple ordinary and joyful for gift ideas too. I personally vote for farmhouse and mid-century style...💜 Thanks again with love from Eastern Tennessee.💜💜💜
Quite a lovely video guys❣️ The Irish stew looked soooo delicious that I wanted to beam right over for a bowl ..... (or TWO :)‼️. God’s richest blessings upon you & your family🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿🌹!!
Wow, I made this last night. I added beef bones. I put the vegetables in at the end and cook again for about 10 minutes. I use carrots, parsnips and potatoes.
Can’t be bothered... early on, I learned that most of the buttons were just preset times for high pressure. I keep it real simple. Manual button for everything.
I made this recipe over the weekend, using Dude's recommended changes at the end of the video. It was fantastic! Thanks so much for creating and sharing!
I made this recipe using some pork shoulder…. We tried it after and it needed SALT 🧂 desperately. I would say, salt and pepper your beef/meat BEFORE adding flour to it. All the other flavors were wonderful.
Flo, why don’t you taste the food as well?!? I get it that you want dude to critique it but I’d like to see what your opinion of it is as well, I mean you made it! You should be tasting it. It would be good to get both your opinions.
I really don’t like eating in front of the camera and I feel like it’s disingenuous to say, “mmm, it’s so delicious.” I mean, have you ever seen any cook taste their food and say anything negative? 🤔
I get it but it’s your recipe so I’d assume you like it? I wouldn’t make something I don’t like because it won’t come out right. You have to taste it and enjoy it to get it just right. I wouldn’t watch a cook if the title was, “making stew but I don’t eat it because it’s nasty”. Lol.. But I understand if you’re uncomfortable eating in front of others but I enjoy watching people taste their food, people can usually tell if people are being sincere or not. That’s why I enjoy your channel, you genuinely look like you enjoy cooking.
I I get that, I’m a mom too and there’s some things I make that I don’t like either. But I’d still like to see and hear your opinion of the dish you make even if it’s you don’t like it.. lol. Maybe one day! 😁😂 I still really like your channel.
As ever, it's enjoyable to watch Flo perform her culinary magic, and creating this stew was no exception. But this potato-free stew could not possibly be Irish. I suspect the recipe may have originated in an Irish-named community like Dublin, Texas, or Killarney, Florida, where potatoes are not regarded as a culinary staple or a dietary preference.
Guinness?!? Yes, please! Some to go in the pot, sip while waiting, and when I hear the sweet sound of my pot calling out to me...well, it looks like a fresh can will be needed to accompany the stew. Love the idea of spooning the stew over some mash. Oh, this will definitely be made in the future!!
This dish looks really good. I guess this camera man lives with you or something and then holds the camera and tastes the food at the end even though he didn’t do any cooking. Anyways we could use less of him and more Flo. I get excited to make the recipe and then this strange man keeps butting in the video.
