  6. Add Worcestershire, tomato paste and 1/4 cup of water, and stir to ensure everything is incorporated.

  8. Add in the remaining beer, parsley, thyme, carrots and potatoes to the pot. Cover and reduce to a simmer for 2-3 hours.
  1. Add a bay leaf into the pot for added flavor.
  2. Frozen peas can be added to the dish for extra vegetables.
