Boxty and Beef Stew

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Stew

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent.

  2. 2

    Add minced garlic, carrots, and beef stew meat. Sear the meat until browned on all sides.

  3. 3

    Pour in the Guinness stout and beef broth. Stir in thyme, black pepper, and bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours until beef is tender.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Boxty

    Peel and grate the potatoes. Squeeze out excess moisture and combine with flour, baking powder, salt, milk, and egg in a bowl.

  6. 6

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Pour in a ladle of the potato mixture and spread it out to form a pancake.

  7. 7

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

  8. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the beef stew is ready, place a scoop of it on one potato pancake and top with another pancake. Serve hot.
