Guinness Pot Roast is an Irish twist on a traditional pot roast. Most pot roasts are made with red wine, which is incredibly delicious! The Guinness beer adds a deeper, unique flavor…..

I actually tried to drink a glass of Guinness with this pot roast…yuck! You may remember that I do not drink beer because I do not like the taste. Well this beer is on a whole different level. Very dark, heavy, almost bitter tasting…so, no! So I can honestly say that this pot roast is amazing and does not taste like Guinness at all 🙂

How to make Guinness Pot Roast:

I am in the process of rewriting 900+ recipe cards so please bear with me as I make changes and add new images. 🙂

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven on high heat.

Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Place the roast in the bowl and completely coat with seasoned flour.

Place the roast into the Dutch oven and brown on all sides, about 3 – 4 minutes each side.

Add the onions and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the reserved flour. Cook, stirring often, until the mixture is golden in color, 3 – 5 minutes.

Stir in the Guinness, beef stock, and bay leaf. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 3 – 3 1/2 hours or until beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Add the potatoes and carrots, cover and continue cooking until vegetables are cooked firm-tender, 25 – 30 minutes.

Remove the roast and separate into small chucks with two forks, or slice thin.

Serve in a bowl with vegetables covered in gravy, or arrange slices on a plate and spoon gravy over the meat. Garnish with parsley and serve.

The meat is so tender, it literally falls apart as you’re serving it. In an effort to contain all of that rich, delicious gravy…it just made sense to serve it in a bowl rather than on a plate 🙂

Grass-fed beef is very high in tryptophan, which makes you sleepy and relaxed. While it does not contain as much as turkey, it still helps calm the nerves of our deep thinking, analytical Virgos.

Up next in our Cooking with Astrology “Virgo” meal is Apple Berry Crumble with Irish Whiskey Cream for dessert.
