I make this stew at least 3 times a year-we love it! Feel free to add turnips if you like them. My DH doesn't or I would ;-) If you have a good amount of leftovers I like to chop it down a bit to use as a filling for pot pies.

How To Make irish pub beef stew

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 300F degrees.
  • 2
    In a heavy Dutch oven (I use cast iron) brown the beef in the butter over medium high heat.
  • 3
    Add the tomato paste, water, beef stock and beer, stir well.
  • 4
    Add the rest of the ingredients and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring once.
  • 5
    Cover and place in hot oven.
  • 6
    Cook for 4 1/2 hours. Stir every hour-watch fluid amount and add additional water if needed. Keep in mind this is a thick stew, not runny.
  • 7
    Remove from oven, remove bay leaves and serve with Irish Soda Bread and butter.
