this is my twist on Irish stew,although traditional Irish stew calls for lamb, I don't like lamb so I use beef. it's such a warm and comforting dish especially on a cold winter's day and tastes just as good the next day! handy if you have a slow cooker and time in the morning to prepare,it's ready when you return from work.
