Irish Beef Stew

Irish Beef Stew

Easy and comforting Irish Beef Stew recipe – with a few twists. Tender meat and vegetables in a flavorful broth, made in one pot.

We eat soups and stews almost all year long, minus the days that it’s 100 degrees and humidity is 90% lol

The importance of searing your meat!

  • Never add raw meat to the broth.
  • When you brown the meat you want to get a nice crust on it, this will give the stew that deep rice flavor.

How do you make stew meat tender?

  • Chuck meat is the best for making this Irish Beef Stew, but it is a very tough cut so it has to have time to break down and become tender, so you can not rush the cooking process it needs to cook low and slow for about an hour, if not the beef will be tough and chewy. Follow this recipe to help get tender and delicious chuck meat.

Substitutes for Beer

  • The stout adds a rich, earthy flavor to the stew and builds flavor that makes it taste like it’s been simmering for hours. The alcohol evaporates when you start to cook, so don’t worry about getting tipsy! But you can substitute the beer for beef broth, chicken broth or mushroom stock.
