Irish Stew made with Old Speckled Hen... an English twist!



My Irish Stew made with Old Speckled Hen

Put all this stuff in a crock and stew about 7 - 8 hours.  Ray loves it and I have to admit, I've been tempted to sneak a bowl for myself so I'll be looking in to making a vegetarian version soon!

Here goes:

In a crock pot put the following:

3 Bay leaves
2 lbs. cubed beef
1 large onion quartered
2 garlic cloves
1 teas. thyme
1 teas. rosemary
2 - 3 T flour
3/4 c. water
1 cube beef bouillon
1/2 c. Old Speckled Hen ale (or any ale of your choice)
1/2 lb. carrots
salt & pepper to taste

Note: beer bread would be a great accompaniment for this stew and a very good way to use up the rest of the Old Speckled Hen ale.  I have doubled this recipe a few times for family visiting and it's very filling and nice when it's cold and rainy outside.

Let me know if you make it.
