Beef and Guinness Stew

This is a larger recipe that would feed 8 or so. Rich and hearty. I served with smashed potatoes (mashed potatoes with the peels intact). It gives it a more home style or "peasant" presentation. Serve either in a "hole" created in the smashed potatoes, or with a dollop of potatoes on top.
