Irish Beef Stew image

This is "Hands Down" the best I've ever made! The thyme is what sets it appart. The garlic will end up very mild. Use less if you like. (I have now edited the recipe to include corn starch to thicken the broth. This of course is optional)

This stew was disappointing. The beef was tough and the vegetables were overcooked. The gravy was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The beef was tender and the vegetables were cooked well. I would make it again, but I would use less salt next time.
