Beef and Onions Stewed in Beer

A simple beef stew that is good over buttered noodles or with plain boiled potatoes. For the beer, use Guinness stout or another dark, bitter beer. Like many stews, this is equally good (or better) when refrigerated and reheated the next day.

Other cuts of meat you can use here: though not traditional, this works well with chunks of lamb shoulder or veal shoulder.
