Irish Stew
Serves 6-8 people
Ingredients:
3 lbs stew meat
3 oz olive oil
1.5 oz flour
1 tsp Cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
4 garlic cloves
2 cups pearl onions
1 cup diced canned tomatoes
12 oz veal stock or water with beef soup base added
16 oz Guinness
3 cups carrots, diced
2 cups diced russet potatoes
6 sprigs of thyme
2 cups frozen or fresh peas
Directions:
Place half of the oil in a large pot and heat until the oil moves quickly around the pan. Add the stew meat and brown on all sides. Add the seasonings, garlic and onions and cook until fragrant or the onions are slightly translucent. Add the flour and cook for one to two minutes stirring frequently to avoid burning the flour. Add the veal stock and with a wooden spoon scrape all of the fond (stuff stuck to the bottom of the pan) and simmer covered for 5 minutes. Add Guinness, carrots, diced russet potatoes and thyme and simmer (small bubbles, not a rolling boil) for two to three hours or until the meat is fork tender. (Place a fork into the meat and the meat should slowly fall off the fork without your help) Just before serving add the peas and simmer another 5 minutes.
