Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the lamb shoulder into large chunks, about 2 inches in size. Peel and cube the potatoes, slice the carrots, and chop the onions. Mince the garlic cloves.

  2. 2

    Season the Lamb

    In a large bowl, season the lamb chunks with salt, black pepper, and some of the fresh thyme and rosemary. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Lamb

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb chunks in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove the browned lamb and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the browned lamb to the pot. Add the chopped carrots and potatoes. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaves, remaining thyme, and rosemary. If using, add the Irish stout beer.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Once the stew is cooked, remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
