Irish Beef Stew

It's still fairly cool and the sort of weather for stews and soups, so I try to make an Irish-style stew. I used Guinness but I suppose any dark beer will do just as well. 🇮🇪☘️🐄🥩🥔🍲🍺

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

Cooking time :

2½ hours

2 strips

bacon, chopped

onion, coarsely chopped

1/2 kg

stew beef, cut into cubes

165 mL (1/2 can)

dark beer

1/2 tsp

thyme

bay leaf

4 cups

beef broth

potatoes, chopped

2 tbsp

corn starch

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

On high heat bring ½ cup water to a boil with the bacon. When the water is about to boil away, about 5 minutes, reduce the heat to medium and add the onions. Fry until translucent, about 3 minutes.

* Step 2

Add the beef, fry until browned, about 3 minutes.

* Step 3

Add the beer, and scrape off the bits that have stuck to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Add the bay leaf.

* Step 4

Add beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until beef is tender, about 2 hours. Stir occasionally and skim off the fat and scum.

* Step 5

After about an hour and a half add the potatoes and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes.

* Step 6

Mix ¼ cup water and 2 tbsp corn starch. Add to stew and bring to a boil on medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until stew thickens, about five minutes.
