Recipe 46- Special Irish Beef Stew

Happy St. Patrick's day (to those who understand what it is!).

Today I prepared this famous Irish dish. I think it is absolutely delicious!
So, either you celebrate St. Patrick's day or you have no idea about this, you should give it a try.

Ingredients

1kg beef cut in cubes
1 onion chopped
1 can mushrooms chopped
1 can tomato paste
2 carrots sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 can Irish beer
1 tablespoon flour
salt/pepper to taste
fresh parsley to sprinkle on top before you serve

The original recipe has also potatoes but it is better not to put any and serve it with Irish potato casserole (I will give you the recipe tomorrow).

In a large pot heat the oil and butter over medium high temperature. Add the beef, mushrooms, onion and carrots. Allow to cook for 10 min, then pour in the tomato paste and beer. Bring it to boil, then lower the temperature to sim and cook for 3 hours. Just before you are ready to serve take 1/2 cup of the sauce, add the flour and mix. Pour the mix back into the pot. This will make the sauce thicker. Add salt and pepper.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Enjoy!
