With Saint Patrick’s Day only a few days away, it’s time for Irish beef stew. Irish stew originated in Ireland and is popular across Europe. Like most other stews, this stew consists of a variety of diced vegetables and meat simmered in a thick sauce. The sauce gets a lot of its flavor from Irish stout beer; hopefully, you can find this because it will make a big difference in the taste of the stew. Apparently, there is also a version of this made with lamb, but I have never tried it. This is a perfect recipe for Saint Patrick’s Day. Enjoy.
