Irish Death Beef Stew

Original Recipe at WaBeef.org

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 can of Irish Death for you.
  • 2 pounds beef Chuck Roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1/2 pound button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1-12 ounce can Irish Death
  • 1 parsnip, diced
  • 1 turnip, diced
  • 1 pound red-skinned potatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 3 cups beef stock


COOKING:

  1. Season beef Chuck Roast cubes with salt and black pepper to taste. Heat oil in a large stockpot over high heat. Sear cubes until brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove cubes from pan and set aside.

  2. Turn heat down to medium; add onions, mushrooms, and garlic to the pot and cook until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes.

  3. Pour beer into the pot and stir, scraping up and dissolving any browned bits of food into the liquid. Stir in tomato paste, thyme, turnips, parsnips, potatoes, salt and pepper. Add back in beef cubes and add enough beef broth to cover all ingredients, about 3 cups.

  4. Bring stew to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine; reduce heat to low and cover pot. Simmer stew until beef is fork-tender, about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

  5. Remove cover and raise heat to medium-high. Bring stew to a low boil and cook until stew has slightly thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Classic Beef Shepherd's Pie

Original Recipe at WaBeef.org

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 1-1/2 cups Classic Beef Gravy
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped onions
  • 1-1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2-1/2 to 3 cups mashed potatoes
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese (optional)

COOKING:

  1. Prepare Classic Beef Gravy.

    Classic Beef Gravy:
     Melt 1/4 cup butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted. Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; cook 5 to 7 minutes until mixture is deep brown, stirring often. Whisk in 2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth until smooth; simmer 3 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low heat; cook 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Stir in 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Season with salt, as desired.

  2. Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat 10 to 12 inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef and onions; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Stir in gravy, frozen vegetables and pepper. Add Irish Death.

     
    Cook’s Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.

  3. Top beef mixture with potatoes, spreading evenly; sprinkle with cheese, if desired. Bake in 450°F oven 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and cheese begins to brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

    Cook’s Tip: Shepherd’s Pie can also be baked in a 2-quart baking dish. Following step 1, transfer meat mixture to baking dish and top with potatoes and cheese. Baking times are the same.
