"Proper Irish stew...... I cook it for 5 children so you can change weights etc to suit 2lb good quality minced beef 4-6 carrots chopped half to one onion mushrooms if desired seasoning gravy granuals/beef oxo cubes roll mince into balls and brown in saucepan. drain off excess fat (shouldnt be much if good quality mince) Add the chopped carrots, onion, mushrooms and stir into mince. Make up your beef stock and add to the hot sauce pan. let this cook on high for just a few minutes, then add the potatoes. turn down heat and cook slowly until all veg and potatoes are cooked. Tastes great the next day as the stock has thickened. Simply as that!!! Let me know"
