We enjoyed this hearty stew with beef, but cubed leg of lamb would work, as well. For robust Irish flavor, use Guinness Stout or another stout for the beer that's specified in the recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp. vegetable oil
- 1 lb. beef stew meat
- 1 can low-salt beef broth
- 1 bottle bottle beer
- 1 1/2 c. cubed peeled baking potato
- 1 c. peeled turnips
- 1 c. thinly sliced leek
- 1 c. carrot slices
- 3 sprig thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 c. water
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley
- Thyme sprigs (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef, and cook 5 minutes, browning on all sides. Add beef broth and next 9 ingredients (broth through black pepper), stirring to combine; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
- Combine 1/4 cup water, flour, lemon juice, and sugar, stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to beef mixture, stirring constantly; bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in parsley. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
