I chose this to make for the Eire part of Virtual cruise:British Isles & Ireland and I was glad I did. It was simple to make and the end result was really tasty. I did not add the Guinness - personal preference, but the gravy was tasty all the same and the beef melted in your mouth.

Great for the slow cooker. As other reviewers have said, the quantities for the liquids in the recipe are a bit light. I eneded up using 2 cups of Guinness and probably 2 to 3 cups of beef stock so that everything was covered in the crock pot. As I serve it on mashed potatoes, I didn't use potatoes in the actual recipe but used a turnip, a swede, a parsnip, a sweet potato and about 4 medium carrots. Next time I'll add a bay leaf or two as my good friend and chef Browndog said that this would take any acidity out that may come from the stout. Thanks for posting - loved it!
