- Brown the beef before stewing: This will develop flavor and help to thicken the stew.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and peas are all classic stew vegetables.
- Add some herbs and spices: Thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and peppercorns are all good choices.
- Use a good quality stout: Guinness is a classic choice for Irish stew, but you can use any dark, malty stout.
- Simmer the stew for at least an hour: This will allow the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: This will help to soak up the delicious gravy.
