==========================================================

*I used lower calorie Fiber Gourmet flour, but the amount is so little that it really doesn’t matter which kind you use.

**I pre-cook my vegetables before adding broth because I like the caramelization. You can cook them however you prefer like in a slow cooker for example

*** I add Beyond steak last because I don’t know how it’s going to hold up in the broth. I was concerned it would get soggy, since it’s not actual meat.

**** Beyond steak is basically seitan with faba beans and other ingredients. Use whatever vegan protein you want.

Note – original recipe had diced tomatoes, but I forgot to add them! It was great without,but add tomatoes or tomato paste if you like.

Thank you so much for posting this! One of my old friends made a guinness stew way back and I never got the recipe. I have always wondered how to make it

Again the beyond steak, I am really waiting for the day they will will finally sell these in Germany 😀
Looks delicious and very cozy for winter 🙂
