Irish Stew Pie Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• STEP 2.In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides.
• STEP 3.Add the onions, carrots, and potatoes to the pot and cook for a few minutes until slightly softened.
• STEP 4.Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until the beef is tender.
• STEP 5.In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew to thicken the broth.
• STEP 6.Transfer the stew to a deep pie dish. Roll out the pie crust and place it over the dish, sealing the edges. Cut a few slits on the top to allow steam to escape.
• STEP 7.Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
• STEP 8.Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
• STEP 9.Serve the Irish Stew Pie hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can brown the beef in batches instead of all at once.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or celery to the stew for added texture and flavor.
• If the stew is too thick, you can add more beef broth or water to thin it out.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or on the stovetop.
• Serve the Irish Stew Pie with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
• This dish pairs well with a pint of Guinness or your favorite Irish beer.
