The classic "Irish Stew" was originally prepared with mutton, root vegetables, and water. After the great famine of 1845 and the emigration of a portion of the population, the dish evolved and includes ingredients easier to find in their new land, such as beef. Finally, we replaced the water with Guinness, the flagship beer of the Irish culture. For this recipe, you can substitute it with the beer of your choice.

Great recipe, but do note that beef was the meat of choice before the great hunger. Cork in 1688 was dubbed the ox-slaying city when over 10000 bullocks were butchered. If you'd like to learn more, read Ireland's Green Larder by Margaret Hickey.

Best beef stew, I made it in slow cooker so after step 3 mixed all ingredients together in slow cooker. Substituted dates for the prunes.Cooked on low for 4 hrs,than on warm.

This is my favourite beef stew recipe. I just wish I knew how to adapt it for the slow cooker!

I bought dates instead of prunes for this recipe. Can I use it or just omit it.

I think this is the best beef stew I have ever made. I didn't add the potatoes because I didn't have time so I served it over mashed potatoes. Excellent
