St. John\u2019s Stout Stew<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If a good beer makes a good stew then a great beer must make a great stew. Since sampling local St. John\u2019s Stout from Yellowbelly microbrewery<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, I have been planning a version of Irish stew using this dark, flavourful beer to test this very thesis. <\/span><\/p>\n

The restaurant and microbrewery located at the corner of George Street and Water Street here in Saint John\u2019s, describes this stout as, \u201cfull of complex burnt \u2018roasty\u2019 flavours\u201d. It is a very intense full flavoured beer indeed, with an appropriate bitter finish. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All of these earthy flavours lend themselves well to a slow cooked, deep, rich beef stew.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

Cooking a great stew is a process of building layers of flavour which meld together to form a dish much greater than the sum of its parts. This one is no exception. <\/span><\/p>\n

The layers of flavour begin with the beef which is dredged in flour before browning. The flour not only aids in browning the beef but also helps to thicken the stew\u2019s rich gravy. <\/span><\/p>\n

St. John\u2019s Stout Stew \u2013 browning the meat is an essential first step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The beef is then slowly braised in the stout, beef stock, a little orange juice, garlic, onions, spices and fresh herbs until it is melt-in-your-mouth tender.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fantastic locally grown vegetables are a must in a stew of this caliber. Bland California-grown imports are practically an insult to the other quality ingredients. So, I popped by Fagan\u2019s in Churchill Square to secure some carrots, turnip and sweet parsnip along with some baby yellow potatoes. <\/span><\/p>\n

The vegetables are roasted to caramelize them a little and bring out their natural sweetness before adding them to the stew. This provides yet another layer of flavour to the pot. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, potatoes, sweet pearl onions and earthy mushrooms help to create as intensely tasty, balanced and complex a stew, as the great stout on which it is based.<\/span><\/p>\n
