I've given this recipe to a number of people and they all loved it, and even passed it on to other people who also thought it was great:

4tbsp olive oil
2kg steak pieces cut into 2cm cubes
2 onions, chopped
170g diced pancetta
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2tbsp ground cumin
4tbsp tomato puree
11/2 – 2tbsp chilli powder totaste
2 tsp dried oregano
250ml red wine
680g bottle passata
2 tsp brown sugar
750ml fresh beef stock, hot
2 x 410g cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained
Fresh flatleaf parsley, to garnish

• Preheat the oven to 160o /fan140o /gas 3.
• Heat half the oil in a large flameproof casserole over a high heat.
• Add the beef and brown, in batches, for 5 mins. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining oil, onions, pancetta and garlic.
• Cool, stirring for 5 minutes.
• Add the cumin, puree, chilli and oregano. Stir for 1 min.
• Add the red wine, passata, sugar, stock and beef.

• Stir in the beans, then cook on the hob for 5 mins to heat through. Garnish with the parsley.
• Make the chilli the day before up to step 2, then cool and chill add the beans when reheating

Beef and Guinness stew is always a winner. So easy and delicious. If you want to make it seem more fun, do baked potatoes with a selection of flavoured butters(which you can make a day or two in advance)

I'd recommend a dark ale or English porter or even a Dunkle Weiss over Guinness.
If find that Guinness makes a very bitter stew.
Even Beamish or Murphy's would be preferable.
