For an even richer flavor, consider using beef broth instead of water. You can also add other root vegetables like parsnips or celery. The type of brown beer you use will significantly impact the flavor of the stew. Experiment with different varieties to find your favorite. Serve hot with a side of crispy French fries or creamy mashed potatoes, and a fresh green salad or steamed green beans.

Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the water and white wine vinegar. Season with thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
