Add diced onions to the pot. Add a pinch of salt, stir and cook for two or three minutes until softened. Add garlic for another minute. Pour in beer and beef stock, then add Worcestershire, tomato paste, paprika, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add beef back into the pot. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Add carrots, then cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes. Serve with mashed potatoes. Or if serving with noodles, add 4 whole new baby potatoes with the carrots!
