Easy Steak and Onions in Guinness Casserole Recipe
By Mark Knowles
Here is the simplest, tastiest casserole ever. I love this because it takes all of about ten minutes to do and then you just leave it in the oven. For some reason, the taste of beef and Guinness is a perfect combination. Of course, you can use another brand of beer if you prefer, but this has always worked for me. Studies have shown that Guinness can be beneficial to the heart. Researchers found that antioxidant compounds in Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery walls. At one time in England (not so long ago) pregnant women were able to obtain Guinness on prescription free on the National Health Service because of the high levels of Iron in it. Sadly, those days have been replaced with an era of political correctness and CCTV cameras, but that’s another story. Also, this is a very economical way to eat beef, because we are using a much less expensive cut of meat than say, sirloin.

You will need:
Equipment:- A sharp knife
- A cutting board
- A flameproof casserole dish with a lid
- A shallow dish
Ingredients:
- 1lb braising or stewing steak cut into four steaks
- 2 onions, sliced
- 6 oz Guinness (you can drink the rest)
- 1 teaspoon Worcester sauce
- Oil
- Seasoned flour (Flour with salt and pepper added)
- Salt and pepper
First, pour a couple of tablespoons of oil into the casserole dish and heat on a medium heat. Peel and slice the onions. Roll the meat in the seasoned flour and fry in the dish for long enough to get a nice brown color. Remove the meat and set aside. Now, add the sliced onions and fry until they are also beginning to brown. Arrange the meat on top of the onions and add the Guinness and Worcester sauce, with a little salt and pepper. Cover the casserole with a lid and cook in the oven for about 3 hours. I like to serve this with either mashed , boiled or roast potatoes and a mixture of winter vegetables – just use whatever is in season at the time. This goes well with just about anything including squash, broccoli and sweet potatoes. I guarantee a juicy, tender piece of beef cooking it this way – it is almost impossible to get this wrong. Enjoy~!
Bon Apetit!

ok, you got me with the food too. clearly I need to spend more time in your Hubs. notice I picked one to comment on that included Guinness. :D
Guinness is good for you.
well, maybe not for me. I love Guinness as a(n) (Irish) concept, but I hate beer. All beer. rofl
I had a Hub up once that showed most Irish were veering away from Guinness too; they are more into wine and beer imports since the 'celtic tiger' econ grwoth thing went full swing.
It is an aquired taste. I have, of course worked very hard to acquire it. Ireland won't be the same with no-smoking, wine bars instead of pubs.
lol, well put. worked hard to acquire, indeed.
yeah, they did that in the South but it was good for business in the North. People just drove over the border to drink and smoke. I admit I haven't kept up as well since Gerry Adamz won the war there last summer. I think they may have banned up North too now, but I'd have to look it up.
Oh and didn't I have marvelous news on all that in the day. I remember when one of the legislators lit up a cig in the main courtroom the day after it was declared "illegal" and got arrested and jailed and said he was happy to go as a fighter for freedom. You have to love these people. I know I do. :)
LOL. I have never known an Irishman back down. You do have to love that. Which remiinds me - Why did God invent whisky?
I know this one! To keep Ireland from taking over the world. :)
Did you hear about the guy that accidently set himself on fire in a pub in Belfast? He got arrested for having an armalite. :p
Hehe. Hadn't heard that one.
provo humour. snuck something new in on you.
try this one, a guy goes to fill up his tank with petrol. he stops at a station but the guy there says they are out of fuel. so the driver says, well hey, you can check the oil then. and the worker says, sorry, can't do that either. to be honest with you, this is an IRA front. the driver says, great, then can you blow up the tires?
LOL. I hadn't heard that one either. I do have a large range of Irish jokes, but mostly from my schoolboy days. As I got older, I discovered they are probably best left unsaid in most situations.
I did get warned to leave town by an IRA bagman in New Jersey a few years back. Purely because of my accent - either that or he was offended that I picked up the girl he was hitting on in a bar from directly under his nose.
Unless he was having me on. He was wearing a miniature dove brooch on the underneath of his lapel and i did actually believe him when he told me what it stood for. But I didn't leave town 'till the next morning, *leers provocatively* But I would love to know if he was conning me. Do you know?
beats hell out of me. I don't even live near anyone remotely irish, old world or working class american ne, which is quite annoying. they seem to be mostly up in the northeast or in california.
I watch the movies though (again with the movies) so I kind of picture it like the guys in "the departed" or "ash wednesday".
what's weird is that for all my love of irish, one of the fellows I got along with quite well on my old message board was a british cop. he was smart and funny (and handsome) and remarkably fond of me, considering, although we started out fighting quite a bit in threads, then realized we really liked each other's personalities. we became online friendos.
shit happens.
was your guy real? I wouldn't have a clue, but all I can say is I'm jealous already just in case.
and to add, in my opinion, the best way to love the masses, irish or otherwise, is not to actually be around them too much so they can't screw it up by being flawed. :p
Got to agree with you r=there.
Never heard of Guinness but the recipe sounds delicious.
Thanks. You have never heard of Guiness? Where do you live? Mars?
Love Guinness, Love Ireland, This meal sounds amazing!!
Wow - I'm not the only one who uses Guinness to cook with - or the only one to write Hubs about the recipes! This sounds really good - I must try this soon....I'd like to add this (as a link) to my 'Guinness Recipe' hub - let me know if that's OK?
Please do. I love cooking with beer. Well - real beer anyway lol
I think ANYTHING cooked in Guiness will be good. When my dog finally passes away, I'll send my wife shopping and test the theory.
I started with the chocolate cake and came here before I could leave a comment on the chocolate cake, all I can say is my mouth is absolutely watering. All your recipes sound positively divine!
