IRISH LAMB OR BEEF STEW

Although I usually reserve making this in the winter months, we love this anytime. Easy and a good comfort food.

Provided by susan

Categories     Stew

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 1/2 Quarts

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup Burgundy wine or 1 cup dry red wine
1 garlic clove, minced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried whole thyme
3 lbs lamb (can substitute lean beef for stewing)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 (10 ounce) cans beef broth, undiluted
6 carrots, cut into 2-inch, slices
12 small boiling onions
6 medium potatoes, peeled and halved

Steps:

  • Combine first 6 ingredients.
  • Pour over meat in a shallow dish.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours.
  • Drain meat, reserving marinade.
  • Discard bay leaves.
  • Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; brown meat in oil.
  • Add consomme and reserved marinade; bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 1/2 hours.
  • Add carrots, onions, and potatoes; cover and cook another 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Lamb shoulder or beef chuck are great options for stew, as they have a lot of flavor and connective tissue that breaks down during cooking, resulting in a tender and flavorful stew.
  • Brown the meat before stewing: Browning the meat in a hot pan before adding it to the stew pot creates a delicious caramelized crust that adds flavor and color to the stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your stew. Some popular choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and parsnips.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can really elevate the flavor of your stew. Some classic options include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Simmer for at least an hour: Stews need time to develop their flavor, so simmer them for at least an hour, or even longer if you have time. The longer you simmer the stew, the more tender the meat will become.
  • Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: A hearty stew is the perfect meal to serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up all of the delicious juices.

Conclusion:

Irish lamb or beef stew is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its tender meat, flavorful vegetables, and rich gravy, Irish stew is a meal that is sure to warm your soul. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give Irish stew a try.
