Instructions
  1. Brown the beef: Sprinkle salt over the beef. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Pat beef dry and brown in batches.
  2. Add garlic and stock ingredients: Add garlic to the pot and sauté. Add beef stock, water, non-alcoholic stout, non-alcoholic red wine, tomato paste, sugar, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves. Stir and simmer for 1 hour.
  3. Sauté onions and carrots: Melt butter in another pot. Sauté onions and carrots until golden, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Add vegetables and simmer: Add onions, carrots, and potatoes to the beef stew. Add black pepper and salt. Simmer uncovered until vegetables and beef are tender, about 40 minutes. Discard bay leaves. Remove excess fat. Transfer stew to bowls. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
