🥘 Ingredients

16 items

• 1.5 kg lamb shoulder (boneless)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large onions, diced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 500 ml Guinness beer
• 500 ml beef stock
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp flour

• 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 500 g baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Cut the lamb shoulder into bite-sized chunks and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chunks in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the browned lamb and set aside.

3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the diced onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onions are translucent.

4. Stir in the flour and tomato paste, cooking for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

5. Slowly pour in the Guinness beer and beef stock, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. Return the seared lamb to the pot. Add the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and baby potatoes. Stir to combine.

7. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the stew simmer gently for 2.5-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.

8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving.

9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
