There is just nothing like a rich stew on a cool night. Don’t be intimidated by this recipe if you aren’t a beer drinker. Sorry folks, I can’t handle it! You can not taste beer in this stew, but it helps create a delicious broth. I promise you will love this!
The hot paprika in this recipe gives the stew a nice kick. If you are concerned about spice however, feel free to substitute regular paprika instead.
Make this stew for your family tonight!

Just double checked this recipe and it does have beer in it….well I don’t drink beer and doubt you can just buy one can !!! Any ideas for a substitution ? My Son-in-law is a Pastor and he would not eat it if he knew it had beer in it….. even tho they say the alcohol is cooked out, I still doubt he would eat it….. I have tasted it when my husband would drink one, but I think it taste terrible…..but heard it is good in cooking…..never used it tho in any cooking I have done…. so just omit it or add something else ???? I will wait for your answer….lol
P.S. Just want to tell you my Son-in-law just won a Brand New Ford, from a Ford Dealer…..what good news that was…..they are so thankful …..so thank God for letting him win this car….:)
You can often buy single bottles of beer now at stores. I know of several stores around here that have coolers of single bottles now. I hate the taste of beer, but the stew is rich and yummy :) I’ve read that you can use ginger ale as a beer substitution in cooking, but I have never tried it. I think I would simply just omit it in this case.
How wonderful about the truck!! What a blessing :D
This sounds wonderful! I have never tried hot paprika before. I will have to pick some up.
This stew looks delicious but is there a replacement ingredient for the beer?
I love making stews like this at this time of year. So comforting!
I just bought cubed beef today but I’m not sure what to make with it. I can’t make up my mind! Maybe I’ll try your recipe out. It looks delicious!
I am definitely loving this recipe! I love cooking with alcohol whether it’s wine, beer, hard cider or guinness! I can just imagine dipping some freshly baked bread into this stew!
Such a delicious stew for this time of year! I am not a beer drinker, but definitely love the flavor it gives to winter soups and stews. Yum!
I like using a good stout beer in hearty stews, it adds another dimension of flavor. It’s getting to be that time of year again!
I usually use normal paprika but only because didn’t know about hot paprika! This is the kind of stew I love to have in the evening, nothing better than a comforting stew after a long day at work!
I love stews during the colder months! So easy to make, and so satisfying and warming. This recipe looks great and I just pinned it!
This looks yummy! The beer is such a unique twist!
