Irish stew
2 pounds of Beef stew meat
1 ½ pounds Irish Potatoes
5 medium onions
3 medium carrots

Salt and pepper to taste
1 ½ cups water
Trim meat up…pretty fair size pieces…peel and slice the potatoes, put a layer of potatoes, meat, onions, carrots and herbs in a large pot…then repeat….
Pour water over the meat and potatoes…and bring to a boil. Simmer gently for about 2 hours. Check during cooking, adding more water as necessary. Makes 4 servings
A good Irish stew should be thick and creamy, not swimming in juice.
