Hearty Homestyle Beef Stew

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the Aromatics
In the same pot, add diced onions and cook until softened.
Stir in garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Build the Broth
Pour in the beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, paprika, thyme, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Stir well.
4. Simmer the Stew
Return the browned beef to the pot.
Cover and let it simmer on low heat for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
5. Add Vegetables
30 minutes before the stew is done, add chopped potatoes and carrots.
Continue simmering until vegetables are tender and the beef is fall-apart soft.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Ladle the hot stew into bowls and serve with fresh bread or over rice for a complete meal.
