Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb lamb shoulder, cubed
  • 1.5 cup beef broth
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped yellow or white
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup frozen peas added at end

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Pat the lamb cubes dry, then toss them with flour, salt, and pepper until coated evenly.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the lamb in batches until golden on all sides; transfer to a plate.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary; cook for 2 minutes to develop flavor.
  • Return the lamb to the pot, pour in beef broth, and bring to a simmer.
  • Cover the pot and simmer gently for 1 hour 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add carrots and potatoes, cover, and cook for another 30 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  • Stir in frozen peas and cook for 5 minutes more. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve warm with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.

Notes

This classic Irish stew is best made a day ahead to allow flavors to meld. Leftovers reheat beautifully.
