This recipe is from Hubby's paternal 'Nana' (grandmother). We spoke on the phone twice before Hubby and I were wed and off to Germany. She was pure Irish, lilting accent and all. She gave me this recipe on our second phone call. I was so grateful and asked what I could give her. Her answer, a great-granddaughter! All the great-grandkids were boys and she longed for a girl. Sadly she passed away while we were in Germany... and sadder still we only have a son. I wish we could have met... I bet she would have had endless stories to tell! This has become our traditional Samhain dinner and a remembrance of Nana. This recipe is very different from others, which have carrots and potatoes. I asked Nana about the missing root veggies and she stated that it is meant to be served with Colcannon, a mashed potato and cabbage or kale dish, so didn't need them.

I wanted to recreate the stew I had in Ireland. It took a few tries but I got it down! Enjoy!

This Beef Stew Recipe is perfect for the colder weather! Tender beef is simmered in a crock pot until melts in your mouth tender. It’s comfort food heaven!

I needed something good and hardy for a work day. So I got up a little early to prepare this delicious meal for my family that works and go's to school. This was perfect on a cold winter day after a long day of work. Come home to a great smelling house.

Hearty Delicious stew will be a crowd pleaser!

At dinner time yesterday I had a request for a stew which obviously I couldn't fulfill. But today and with the help of slow cooker we enjoyed a great hearty meal.

So good!! One of my favorites :) You can add any other seasonings/veggies if you like :)

This picture shows the final bowl of this batch. I took a bit of everyone's recipe and tweaked it for me.

An easy set-it-and-forget-it beef stew recipe from the home of the green, green grass.
