      Title: Bobby's Irish Beef Stew Recipe
 Categories: Beef, Stews, Irish, Beer
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      2 tb Vegetable oil
      2 tb Flour
      1 lb Beef stew meat, diced
      1 sm Onion, chopped
      2 lg Potatoes, peeled and diced
      4    Carrots, peeled and sliced
      2 c  Fresh mushrooms, sliced
      6 cl Garlic, minced
      6 oz can tomato paste
      2 c  Beef broth
     12 oz Bottle Irish Stout
      1 tb Corn starch
      1 tb Water
    1/4 c  Fresh parsley, minced
 
  Like most other stews, this stew consists of a variety of diced
  vegetables and meat simmered in a thick sauce. The sauce gets a
  lot of its flavor from Irish stout beer; hopefully you can find
  this because it will make a big difference in the taste of the
  stew. There is also a version of this made with lamb.

  In a large pot heat oil. Coat beef cubes with flour and fry in oil
  until browned on all sides. Remove meat from the pot and set
  aside. Add mushrooms and onions to the pan. Cook onions until
  tender.
  
  Add the beef back to the pot. Stir in tomato paste, garlic, beef
  broth and beer. Add potatoes and carrots. Cover and simmer on low
  for 1 hour.
  
  In a measuring cup mix together 1 tb corn starch with 1 tb water.
  Pour into the stew and stir. Simmer until the sauce has thickened.
  Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
