Irish Beef Stew

I got this recipe from a friend who recently vacationed in Ireland. This is one of my favorite easy dinners! The stout beer really adds a great flavor.

Step: 1

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss beef cubes with flour to coat, then fry in the hot oil until browned. Place the carrots, potatoes, onion and garlic in a large slow cooker. Place the meat on top of the vegetables. Mix together the beef broth and tomato paste and pour into the slow cooker along with the beer.

Step: 2

Cover and cook on High for 6 hours or Low for 8 hours. During the last hour before serving, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water and then stir into the broth. Simmer on the High setting for a few minutes to thicken.

The name of “stew” can process to 2 time a dish and a make dishes method. Stewing makes slowly cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s same as to braising, instead it makes have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked all of it , and the water based material all of it covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
