    Guinness Beer Beef Chuck Roast Recipe (14)
    I skipped the coffee. Not because didn’t have any but because Guinness already tastes like coffee. I used bacon grease to brown the roast. I also added mushrooms. I didn’t cook the onions/carrots/celery/mushroom first. I browned the roast in the pan I was cooking it in and just tossed the garlic in around it after it was mostly browned. I added a shot of Worcestershire and some red wine(1/4 cup) to it too.

    I added potatoes once it was slightly tender but not quite done and just cooked it til it til the potatoes were done.

    I mostly just used the recipe as reference. I tossed a couple bay leafs in too just because. It taste how a roast should taste. This would also work well for a leg of lamb too. I’d personally prefer it over mashed potatoes but my wife wanted potatoes in with the roast. It is certainly easier this way. There was enough liquid that it could be served as a stew. I have no doubt the original recipe 100% followed would be just as good.

    I don’t like coffee. Does the coffee flavor stand out in this recipe?

    • Sandy

      It really adds to the richness, but you can try leaving it out? We always add the coffee, and no, it does not stand out.

  3. mike mangiacotteReply

    what about using bison sirloin roast

    • Sandy

      Yes, let us know if it is amazing?!

  4. JudyReply

    This is by far the very best roast I’ve ever made. I did add potatoes and in the slow cooker for 6 hrs. So tender.

  5. RobynReply

    For the instant coffee do you just add granules or make the coffee with water?

    • Sandy

      Hi Robyn! You add the instant coffee to the water as stated: In a separate small bowl, add to 1 1/2 cups of hot water the tomato paste, instant coffee, and chili flakes. Hope that makes sense! No extra water.

    I pat flour to the beef before browning. Brings a nice gravy to the finished product.

    Will any beer work ?? don’t have guineas ??

    • Sandy

      Yes!

  8. Jake YReply

    Made this tonight and it was delicious. The tomato, coffee, Guinness combo is wonderful. A few notes:
    * I didn’t have instant coffee, so I used 1 cup of brewed coffee in place of the instant and then added the additional 1/2 cup of water. Next time I’ll reduce the liquid to 1 cup instead of 1 1/2, as it was not thick (and I reduced it for a bit).
    * I added 2 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tbsp dijon mustard, and 2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce to the tomato paste mix.
    * We ate this over oven-baked mashed potatoes and it was glorious!

    Do I need to double the ingredients if I’m cooking a 6 pound roast?

    • Sandy

      No! Just watch toward end that you have enough liquid in the pot!

    This recipe was delicious, full of flavor and very hearty. I followed the recipe to a T but added red skinned potatoes along with the carrots and my family loved it so much last Sunday, that they requested it again this Sunday!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.

  14. PaulaReply

    Making this right now! Is there anything you can substitute for the instant coffee? I don’t have any, just regular coffee and I live a long ways from a store.

    • Sandy

      You could leave out the coffee, but it would be lacking in a tiny bit of flavor, I’m afraid. Sorry you didn’t have that ingredient. If you made without, let me know! :)
