Tips & Tricks
- For a gluten-free version, replace the seitan with tempeh or tofu.
- If Guinness stout is not available, substitute it with a dark vegan beer or vegetable broth for a lighter flavor.
- Adjust the thickness of the stew by adding more vegetable broth if desired.
- Enhance the umami flavors by adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, allowing the flavors to develop further.

Serve the Vegan Guinness Stew in deep bowls, accompanied by crusty bread or fluffy mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
