Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 bag Gardein beefless tips*
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 cups Guinness stout
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 4 yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until translucent.
  • Add the beefless tips and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until slightly browned. They don't need to cook all the way through yet. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Now add the dried rosemary, thyme and black pepper; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour in the beer and stir.
  • Add the broth, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce and stir, then add in the carrots and potatoes.
  • Stir well and bring to a boil, then lower heat so the stew is simmering. Cover and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring a few times throughout.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the pot, stirring, until you have reached a thicker consistency. You might not need all the slurry.
  • Season with salt if needed (this will depend on the saltiness of your broth). Serve hot with crusty bread and chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. May use something other than Gardein beefless tips, but they are my favorite here. TVP chunks, another beef substitute, mushrooms or even lentils/beans would work as well. Use 2-3 cups of any of the other options in place of the Gardein.
  2. To truly be Irish stew it needs the beer, but if you can't have it you can substitute more broth or alcohol free beer. The flavor won't be the same though.
  3. Leftovers - Store leftover stew in the refrigerator for about 4 days. It can also be frozen.
