Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Irish stew is a very nutritious and filling dish, traditionally served in large portions of 700 grams, so your family will be fully satisfied with just this one dish for dinner. Thanks to the use of beer, the meat turns out tender and soft, while the stew itself has a slight tanginess, adding a pleasant piquancy. We'd recommend buying draught "Guinness" beer for the stew, but if that's not possible, canned beer will work too. So, here's the recipe for Irish stew with beer with photos. The dish is ready to be served.

    2. Remove the meat from tendons, membranes, and fat, then cut it into large pieces. Depending on the type of meat you choose, adjust the stewing time accordingly. If you use lamb, it will become tender in 1.5 hours of cooking; if you use tougher mutton, it will take 2.5 hours.

    6. Pour the beer into the cauldron, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the stew for 30 minutes (the time depends on the tenderness of the meat; if the meat is tough, extend the cooking time up to 1 hour). If the liquid reduces too much, you can add some water. Check for salt and spices, and add more if needed.
