Irish Stew

Using tenderized cutlets produces a rich & meaty Irish stew. Begin by browning cubed cutlets in a deep pot, allowing them to cook very slowly with about 1/2 cup of diced onions. Cooking them slowly makes the meat even more tender.

Carefully monitor your pan, looking for a golden brown to form on the bottom of the pot. When this happens, quickly add about four cups of water which will produce a rich, beefy broth for the base of the Irish Stew.

Next, add about 1 cup of baby carrots - or carrot slices. Allow to cook for about 10 minutes, or until carrots are almost done, then add 2 cups of peeled potatoes which have been cut into large cubes. Continue to cook stew, until potatoes are tender.

If a thicker stew is desired, mix about 1 Tablespoon of cornstarch in 1/4 cup of water until smooth, then add to stew. Serve Irish Stew hot, with biscuits.

A few cooked English peas may also be added for color and taste.
