Top of the morning to ya! 🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

To celebrate me being an eighth Irish (!) we made this delicious beef and @guinness stew! And you can too…

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1kg stewing beef, cut into large chunks
1 onion, roughly chopped
10 carrots, cut into large chunks
2 tbsp plain flour
500ml can Guinness
1 beef stock cube
pinch of sugar
3 bay leaves
A big thyme sprig
900g potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 parsnips, peeled and chopped

Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Heat the oil in large lidded casserole dish, brown the meat really well in batches, then set aside. Add the onion and carrots to the dish, give them a good browning, then scatter over the flour and stir. Tip the meat and any juices back into the dish and give it all a good stir. Pour over the stout and crumble in the stock cube. Season the stew with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Tuck in the herbs and bring everything to a simmer.

Cover with a lid and place in the oven for about 2½ hrs until the meat is really tender. The stew can now be chilled and frozen for up to 3 months – defrost completely before reheating until piping hot. Leave the stew to settle a little, then serve with creamy parsnip mash for a true celebration of winter vegetables.

For the mash… Boil 900g potatoes with 3 peeled, chopped parsnips for 15 mins until tender. Drain well, then mash with a large knob of butter and 4 tbsp crème fraîche or double cream. Season with salt and pepper and serve piping hot.
