Method

Main Dish - Irish Beef Stew

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef

    In a large pot over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the beef cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add chopped onions, carrots, and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the beef to the pot. Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Stew

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 2 hours or until beef is tender.

  5. 5

    Add Peas

    About 10 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and let them heat through.

Side Dish - Colcannon Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil Potatoes

    Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Cook Cabbage

    In a separate pan, melt 2 tbs of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped cabbage and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 8

    Mash Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the cooked cabbage, milk, green onions, remaining butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional green onions if desired.
