Ingredients

For the Soup

1 lb beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes) Chuck roast is a great alternative for tender, flavorful bites.
2 tablespoons olive oil Substitute with canola or vegetable oil if desired.
1 cup onion (diced) Shallots work well too for a milder taste.
2 cloves garlic (minced) You can use 1 teaspoon garlic powder if needed.
8 oz mushrooms (sliced) Use cremini or button mushrooms for an earthy depth.
2 medium carrots (sliced) Parsnips are a good alternative.
2 stalks celery (diced) You may replace it with bell peppers if preferred.
4 cups beef broth Homemade or low-sodium broth enhances flavor.
1 cup dark ale A robust beer like stout or porter deepens the soup's richness.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Soy sauce can be used as a substitute.
1 teaspoon thyme (dried) Fresh thyme works too, but increase to 1 tablespoon.
Salt and pepper Always season at the end to adjust flavors perfectly.

For Garnishing

Fresh parsley (chopped) Omit if you're not a fan of green garnishes.
Crusty bread slices Try baguette or sourdough for variety.

Method

Cooking Steps

Sauté the onions and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, cooking until they are browned and tender, approximately 8 minutes.
Brown the steak pieces in the pot, stirring occasionally for about 7-10 minutes.
Pour in your ale, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix in the broth, carrots, and herbs, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and allow it to simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste just before serving.
