Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Oil (vegetable, peanut, canola or olive, anything will work well)
2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder or leg, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 large or 2 small onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 turnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 cup tomato puree
2 pints stout beer (recommended: Guinness)
1 small bunch marjoram, tied together with string
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Coat a wide, large heavy-bottomed pot with oil and heat over high heat. Toss 1/2 of the lamb cubes generously with salt and half of the flour. Add immediately to the hot oil and brown well on all sides. When the lamb is really brown on all sides, remove it from the pot and reserve. If the oil begins to smoke, lower the heat and continue. Repeat this process with the remaining lamb and flour. Put all the browned lamb on a plate.
  • Remove the excess oil from the pot, add a little fresh oil and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the onions and celery and season with salt. Cook until the onions start to soften and are very aromatic, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the turnips, stir to combine and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Return the lamb to the pan and add the tomato puree, stout, marjoram, and bay leaves. Stir to combine, taste for seasoning and adjust, if needed. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat it to a simmer. Cover the pot halfway with a lid and simmer the stew for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, checking and stirring occasionally. Remove the lid during the last 15 to 20 minutes of the cooking time to allow the liquid to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed (it probably will). When it's done, the lamb will be tender and full-flavored but not falling apart or stringy. Discard the bay leaves and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with parsley and serve.
  • That's a great craic!

This stew was delicious! The lamb was fall-apart tender and the turnips were perfectly cooked. I loved the addition of the stout, which gave the stew a rich and flavorful broth.

This stew was a bit too heavy for my taste. The lamb was a bit too fatty and the turnips were a bit too sweet. I think I would prefer a stew with a lighter broth and less sweet vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of lamb, but I really liked this stew. The meat was cooked perfectly and the flavors were very well-balanced. I would definitely make this again.

This stew is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I had some leftover from a roast lamb dinner and this stew was the perfect way to use it up. It's easy to make and the flavors are amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This stew was delicious! I love the combination of lamb and turnips, and the stout added a really nice flavor. I served it with mashed potatoes and it was a perfect meal for a cold winter day.

I thought this stew was just okay. The lamb was a bit tough and the turnips were a bit bland. I think I would have liked it better if the lamb had been cooked for longer and the turnips had been roasted before being added to the stew.
