This was great, but I had to make a couple of changes (had ideas from another very similar recipe) to make it more flavorful. First, toss the beef in 3/4 tsp. pepper and 1 1/2 tsp. salt before cooking it. Use 1 Tbl. olive oil instead of 2 tsp. vegetable oil, and add a bay leaf to the onions, garlic, and mushrooms, cook until onions are wilted (not brown), THEN add the beef and brown it. Pour the beer over the tomato paste in a small bowl, let the foam subside, stir well, THEN add it to the beef mixture (no beef broth needed at all). Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, THEN add potato wedges (not diced - or they get too mushy) and baby carrots. Continue cooking for 45 minutes. Follow the cornstarch step as written. Perfect! Now I have the recipe online. Thanks for sharing yours!
