Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil , or as needed
- 3 ½ oz (100g) streaky bacon , roughly chopped
- 2 pounds (900g) diced lamb , neck or shoulder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp thyme leaves , fresh
- 2 leeks , white parts only, chopped *see note 1
- 4 carrots , cut into large pieces
- 3 potatoes , peeled and cubed
- 1 tbsp tomato paste (optional)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups (950ml) beef broth
- 11.2 fl oz (330ml) Guinness *see note 2
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tsp cornstarch diluted in 1 tbsp cold water
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley , chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Heat olive oil in a large casserole dish. Add the bacon and cook for a couple of minutes until it starts to crisp up. Add the diced lamb and cook until nicely browned. Transfer any liquid to a bowl.
- Deglaze the pan with a little Guinness or broth, making sure to scrape any brown bits stuck to the pan loose with your wooden spoon. Transfer any liquid to the bowl with the meat.
- Add a splash more oil to the pan if needed and cook the leeks for 5 minutes. Add the carrots, potatoes, thyme and seasoning and cook for a minute.
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, Guinness and beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the tomato paste, if using. Add the lamb, bacon and bay leaf, cover with a tight fitting lid and transfer to the oven for 90 minutes.
- Check the lamb – it should be completely tender. Take the casserole out of the oven and adjust the seasoning as needed. Stir in a little cornstarch slurry and heat through to thicken the gravy.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with some crusty bread.
Equipments used:
Notes
- 1: sub with 1 large brown onion, finely diced
- 2: Guinness can give the stew a slightly bitter taste. If you don't like drinking Guinness, you may want to replace it with a different stout or ale.
- 3: Use an immersion blender to blitz some of the braising liquid with a couple of potato and carrot pieces to thicken the stew without adding cornstarch.
