Cut the beef into 1 ½ inches pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add half of the beef. Cook from both sides. Transfer the cooked beef to a bowl and repeat the process with the remaining beef.
Add the chopped onions, carrots and celery to the same pot. Stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato puree and cook for a further minute. Add the beer. Cook for around 2 minutes and slightly reduce the liquid.
Add the beef stock along with the cooked beef. Bring the contents to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and cook till the beef is tender.
Cut the potatoes into halves. Add these to the cooking pot. Cook on for around 20 minutes till the potatoes are tender.
Mix cornstarch in some cold water in a bowl. Add the mixture to the cooking pot gradually and keep stirring to avoid lumps. Cook till the gravy is thickened.
Pour in a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley.
