Lots of veggies, and very savory. I specified t-bone, but any bone-in steak will work.

Ingredients

1	lb t-bone steak
1	cup guinness
14	oz beef broth
1	carrot
1/2	cup onion
1/3	cup celery
2	small tomatoes
1	cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2	cup leeks
1	tsp tarragon
1	tsp parsley
1/4	tsp bay leaf
1	tsp bouquet garni

Directions

1. Cut up t-bone, removing all the meat from the bone, and separating any cartilage.
   
   
2. Place everything, including the bone, in a METAL roasting pan, and brown under a low broiler until the edges start to caramelize.
   
   
3. Remove pan from oven, and transfer meat and bone to a medium sauce pan with a slotted spoon.
   
   
4. Pour off the fat, leaving as much of the caramel and brown juices in the pan as possible.
   
   
5. Place the METAL roasting pan (this bit is important!) on a stove burner on med-high, and pour in the cup of guinness.
   
   
6. Deglaze the pan by scraping all the browned bits off the pan with a cooking spoon.
   
   
7. Reduce the guinness in volume by 1/3 to 1/2.
   
   
8. Pour the guiness over the beef in the sauce pan, and add 4 cups water.
   
   
9. Bring the water to a boil.
   
   
10. While the water is coming to a boil, chop all the vegetables.
    
    
11. Place all the herbs in a tea ball or a square of cheesecloth, tied off.
    
    
12. Reduce heat until the water is just barely simmering, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
    
    
13. Throw all the vegetables and the herbs in
    
    
14. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes.
    
    
15. Remove the herbs, the bone and cartilage, and dispose of.
