I love thisI Irish Beef Stew recipe.  Not only is it out of this world in taste, it really is very easy to make.  I know what you’re thinking; look at that long list of ingredients!  The ingredients list may be long, but that doesn’t mean it’s hard, it’s just tells you there is a lot of flavor in this stew.   What it does take, is time.  So without further a due, here is my Irish Beef Stew.

After 2 hours add the potatoes and mushrooms. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Add frozen peas and bake for an additional 30 minutes until beef and vegetables are tender.  Serve.

You can make this without the  beer by substituting beef broth and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.  You can also make this in a slow cooker, but you may need to reduce the liquid by a bit and be mindful of the timing when adding the other ingredients.

This Irish Beef Stew disappears in a flash.  It’s even better the next day if it lasts that long.  We usually serve this stew with good bread, a nice salad, and hearty zinfandel wine or nice stout or beer.  Enjoy.
