Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil and add the meat. Sear on all sides for about 6-8 minutes.
Add carrots, parsnips, onions, garlic, beer, soy sauce, stock, and demi-glace. Simmer over medium heat for 2 hours, covered.
While stew cooks, in a separate pot with boiling water, cook the potatoes until tender. Cooking them separately will assure they don't turn to mush in the stew.
After two hours, uncover the stew, add the potatoes, and increase heat to medium high for 30-45 more minutes, stirring until everything comes together.
