Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed lamb and season with salt and pepper. Sear the meat on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

  3. Stir in the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

  4. Sprinkle the dried thyme and rosemary over the vegetables and meat. Stir well to combine and let the herbs release their fragrant oils.

  5. Pour the beef broth into the pot, making sure it covers all the ingredients. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the lamb is tender and the flavors have melded together.

  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove the stew from heat and let it sit for a few minutes to slightly cool.

  7. Ladle the Honest And True Irish Stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
