Description

A hearty and flavorful Guinness lamb stew, perfect for a cozy dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs lamb roast
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 3 medium carrots
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 cup Guinness stout
  • 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 8 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp white granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp fresh minced parsley
  • salt
  • fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

  1. Combine beef stock, tomato sauce, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and sugar in a bowl, whisk it together and set aside.
  2. Cut lamb roast into about 1-inch pieces. Dice carrots, cut potatoes, mince garlic, and slice onion.
  3. Sear chopped lamb pieces in batches until nicely browned. Set seared meat aside in a separate bowl.
  4. Add onion and carrots to the pot and let sear for a few minutes as well. Stir in minced garlic and cook just until garlic is fragrant.
  5. Add lamb back into the pot. Sprinkle flour over meat and vegetables and mix until all the pieces are evenly coated.
  6. Pour beer in slowly as you scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spatula.
  7. Add potatoes to the pot, pour in the beef stock mixture, and stir it all to combine. Add bay leaves and lower the heat to low.
  8. Cover with a lid but leave a crack for the steam to escape. Cook for 2 – 2 1/2 hours, stirring once in a while.
  9. Discard bay leaves and serve.
