Step 1

Remove beef stew meat from refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Allow to rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

Step 2

While the stew meat is resting, chop the vegetables/potatoes and mince the garlic.

Step 3

Place a large 10-quart pot on the stove. Add olive oil. Heat until olive oil simmers when a few drops of water are added (usually on medium-high). Turn the heat down to medium, or medium-low. Add the stew meat to the pan to brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, otherwise the meat will steam rather than fry and brown. Work in batches, if need be.

Step 4

Add garlic to the meat, and give it a quick stir. Add in onions, cooking for no longer than 2 minutes. Pour in the dark stout beer, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the remaining ingredients (EXCEPT the potatoes), stirring to mix.

Step 5

Bring the beef stew to a simmer, slightly reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Add the potatoes, and simmer for an additional 40 minutes (or until potatoes are easily speared with a fork or butter knife). Retrieve the sprigs of rosemary and thyme from the stew and discard. Serve and enjoy!
