A truly classic Guinness Irish Beef Stew, made long and slow with a touch of Irish beer, just like the women of Ireland did so long ago!
Yum
It's about that time of year when we celebrate all things Irish!
I've never been to Ireland though it is certainly on my bucket list. My great-grandmother was a migrant as a young girl from Ireland to Oklahoma and her parents participated in the famous Cherokee Strip Land Run of 1893 to stake a homestead claim for land. We think the strong persistence of the Irish people in my family tree deserve celebrating this St Patrick's Day!
St Patrick's Day is actually a day of feasting, celebrating the arrival of Christianity in Ireland and the heritage and culture of the Irish. You don't have to be Irish to take part, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day! So if you plan on having a feast at home this year I have the dish for you!
We just love a good stew and Irish stew is hearty and comforting. This version has all the traditional ingredients with an added touch of Guinness beer for a jazzed up version. The major plus is that it is made in the slow cooker. You can come home to a mouthwatering meal that is just irresistible!
It's full of big chunks of meat and vegetables with a hint of Guinness flavor in the broth. Pair this with my Pioneer Spotted Dog (Irish soda bread) for one fantastic meal, and the perfect way to celebrate!
Enjoy!
