Classic Irish Stew
Nothing says ‘comfort food’ like a warm bowl of Irish stew. It’s hearty, flavorful, and perfect for those chilly evenings when all you want to do is curl up on the couch with a delicious meal. Let’s check out what you’ll need to whip this up!

Ingredients
- 2 lbs lamb or beef, cut into cubes
- 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 large carrots, sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup Guinness beer (optional, but highly recommended!)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent. This step is crucial, as it gives a solid flavor base!
- Add the cubes of lamb or beef to the pot, browning them on all sides. Don’t be shy; get a little color on those beauties!
- Once the meat is browned, sprinkle in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir and let those flavors mingle.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, pour in the Guinness beer and let it simmer for a couple of minutes. The beer enhances the stew with a lovely depth – trust me!
- Next, add your broth, diced potatoes, and carrots to the pot. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours. This is where the magic happens, so resist the urge to peek too often!
- Finally, stir in the fresh parsley before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy the heartwarming aroma that fills the room. Pair it with some crusty bread, and you’re set for a meal that even the leprechauns would envy!
