Delicious 1 Pot Oven Cooked Irish Beef Stew Recipe

A Super Simple but Delicious Irish Beef Stew Recipe

Last Christmas I ditched my pescatarian way of life because I fancied turkey and ham for Christmas dinner. And I have absolutely no regrets, my conscious almost clear as we went local and freerange. The only thing that bothered me was trying to remember what I’d dined on for Christmas dinner all those years previously.

Since then I’ve dabbled in a little more meat. To Patrick’s dismay this ‘dabbling’ has not been to the extent of a coddle, just yet, but the odd meat dish including this one pot oven cooked Irish Beef Stew. Traditionally this dish is cooked on the hob, but nowadays on cold wintery days – we plop all the ingredients together into our Le Creuset Dutch Oven and slow cook it in the oven for 2 – 2.5 hours. It’s simple, hearty, tasty and if you’ve any left – it tastes even better on day two. Serve with buttered homemade brown bread, or crusty rolls, sliced white bread or just as it is.

Use whatever deep pan oven dish you have as long as it has a cover. We source the majority of our vegetables locally (I really do recommend finding a local grower for fresh seasonal produce) and our meat from our local butcher. And when we can’t do either of these, our local supermarkets are always stocked.
