Savory Beef Stew

A couple secret ingredients set this stew apart from other traditional beef stews. The honey adds a touch of sweetness and the beer not only tenderizes the meat but it adds a perfect richness to the sauce.

Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2-1/2 to 3 pounds boneless beef chuck, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
• 2 large onions, cut into chunks
• 2 garlic clove, minced
• 1 (12-ounce) can beer
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon steak sauce
• 2 teaspoons steak seasoning
• 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine flour and beef chunks; toss until beef is completely coated.
    
2. In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium-high heat and brown beef 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
    
3. Add carrots, onions, and garlic, and cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until vegetables begin to soften. Stir in beer, beef broth, steak sauce, and steak seasoning and bring to a boil. 
    
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour, or until beef is tender. Remove from heat, stir in honey until well combined, and serve.
