Ingredients

• 1.5 kg lamb shoulder (boneless)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large onions, diced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 500 ml Guinness beer
• 500 ml beef stock
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 500 g baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lamb shoulder into bite-sized chunks and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb chunks in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the browned lamb and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the diced onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the flour and tomato paste, cooking for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the Guinness beer and beef stock, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the seared lamb to the pot. Add the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and baby potatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the stew simmer gently for 2.5-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
