Irish Rebel Stew
2.5 lbs beef (chuck roast) and/or lamb (shoulder) - the tougher, fattier
cuts of meat are fine, as they will become tender through long cooking.
4-6 medium potatoes (about 2.5 lbs)
4-6 large carrots (about 1 lb)
3 Tbsp bacon fat or lard
2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp coarse black pepper
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 tsp tarragon
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
1/4 tsp thyme
2 bay leaves
1 tsp gumbo file
1 bottle Guinness
flour
water
Cut the meat into large chunks (about 1.5 or 2 inches on a side). Put some
flour (1/4 cup or so should do it) in a bowl, add the meat, and toss until
coated. Do not bother to shake off excess flour. In a deep cast-iron stewpot,
heat bacon fat on high until it sputters when you drip water on it. For those
of you who can't bear using animal fat, 2 Tbsp of your favorite oil should
work fine. When hot, drop meat into stewpot and brown thoroughly on high heat.
Be attentive here and stir the meat often until all sides are browned. Add
1 cup of the Guinness and the Worcestershire sauce. Let it simmer a couple
minutes until flavor and aroma have developed, scraping any brown bits up
from the pan bottom and sides. Add 1 cup water, herbs and spices (except file),
and remaining Guinness. Let simmer on medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes.
While it simmers, wash potatoes and cut into large chunks (perhaps 6 chunks
per potato, and yes they really should be that big). And don't peel them -
it's sacrilegious.
Wash (don't peel) the carrots, and cut them into long pieces (2 inches
or so). Add potatoes and carrots to stew. Add enough water to almost cover
everything, cover and cook over medium heat for at least an hour, preferably
two. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. When you stir, use
a fork. Break a few of the potatoes up as you do, mixing them back into the
broth. This will result in a much thicker, heartier stew. You may also adjust
the thickness to your preference with water or flour, depending on how you
like it. About 15 minutes before serving, add 1/2 tsp of the gumbo file, turn
off heat and let the stew stand to thicken (don't worry, the cast iron pot
will keep it plenty warm). The file is a good thickener, so if your stew is
too thin, add the full teaspoon. During dinner, leave the pot covered in a
warm (but turned-off) oven or on a burner over the lowest possible heat. This
will keep it warm when people go back for seconds (and they will). Serve with
Guinness, bread (for sopping up afterwards), and plenty of salt. Seal and
refrigerate any uneaten stew. To reheat, add a little water and simmer until
thoroughly warmed. This stew loses absolutely nothing by being around for
a couple of days.
Variations: This is a very rich and flavorful stew as is, and really does
not need the additional flavors of garlic or onion common in most stews. However,
for people who must have them, one large yellow onion (diced) can be added
in the last few minutes of the browning of the meat, but be careful not to
burn it. Garlic should be crushed or minced and added along with the spices.
Other common additions include peas, celery, parsley, and other vegetables.

1 lb carrots
1 lb celery

corn starch
water
salt pepper to taste

Beef and Guinness Puff Pastry Pie
Ingredients:
6 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
2 onions, halved and sliced
225g medium size chestnut or button mushrooms, cut into quarters
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1kg braising steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 2.5cm chunks
5 tbsp plain flour seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper
500ml Guinness
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
salt and freshly ground black pepper
500g puff pastry
1 egg, lightly beaten
Preparation:
1. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large, oven-proof casserole dish and gently
fry the onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and
cook for a further 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft. Remove the vegetables
from the pan and place in a large bowl.
2. Place the seasoned flour in a bowl and toss the meat in it, a handful at
a time. Heat a little more oil in the pan and fry the flour-coated chunks
of meat over a medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Do this in batches,
coating each new batch of meat in the flour and adding more oil to the pan
when needed. Transfer the browned meat to the onion and mushroom bowl while
you fry the rest.
3. When all the meat is browned, return everything to the casserole dish
and pour over the Guinness. Add the bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper and
bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer very gently, partially covered
for 1½ to 2 hours or until the meat is tender and the sauce slightly
thickened. Alternatively, you can cook in a 170C/325F/gas mark 3 oven for
the same amount of time. Check the liquid level occasionally to make sure
it doesn’t become too dry, adding a little water if necessary.
4. When cooked, remove from the heat and tip the mixture into a wide baking
dish, at least 5cm deep. Allow to cool to room temperature or store in the
fridge.
5. Roll out the pastry and cut out 6 circles, each about 10cm in diameter,
and lay them on the beef mixture so they overlap slightly. Brush with the
beaten egg.
6. When ready to bake and serve, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark
6 and cook for 30 minutes or until the pastry is risen and golden and the
pie heated through.

Scotch Fillet with Guinness and Horseradish Gnocchi
For this dish prepare potato gnocchi which are poached in stock or salted
water, then dried and fried or grilled until golden. Doing it this way makes
the gnocchi easier to handle.
Ingredients
6 x 150 to 200g beef Scotch fillet steaks
Milled pepper
Crystal salt
Olive oil to sauté
Sauce
1 medium-sized red onion
300ml Guinness
800ml demi-glaze
1 sprig thyme
Milled pepper
Crystal salt
Knob of salted butter
Potato gnocchi
250g peeled, diced potatoes
Knob of butter
1 small egg
60g plain flour
25g grated fresh horseradish
Garnish
Chopped chives
Method
The Steaks
Season the meat on all sides then brown well all over in hot olive oil over
a high heat. Place on an oven tray. Put aside.
The Sauce
Thinly slice the onion then sauté in the same pan that the meat was browned
in. Add the Guinness, bring back to a steady simmer then reduce by half.
Pour into a clean pot then add the demi and the thyme. Bring to the simmer
for a minute or so. The sauce should be a coating consistency.
Remove from the heat; discard thyme. Place sauce aside until required.
The Gnocchi
Cover the potatoes with salted water, then cook over a steady heat until tender.
Strain off the water then return the potatoes to the heat to dry off. While
they are still hot, mash or preferably put them through a mouli. Allow to
cool.
Beat the butter into the mashed potato, then the egg. Mix in the flour.
Carefully blend in the horseradish. Place the mixture onto a floured surface,
then knead once or twice.
Using flour to prevent sticking, carefully roll out to a thickness of 5mm.
Alternatively, shape into a cylinder (4 cm diameter) then slice into 1 cm
discs.
Using a 4cm plain cutter, cut out 12 discs, placing them on a floured tray
as you go.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the gnocchi in batches,
dropping them into the water and cooking for 2 - 3 minutes, or until they
float. Drain each batch, then place on a lightly buttered baking tray. Cover
with a piece of buttered greaseproof paper, then place aside until the next
step.
The gnocchi may be sautéed to golden, or grilled at this stage, then reheated
as required. Or you can reheat them as they are.
The Steaks
Finish the steaks all together on the one tray in a hot oven, preheated to
200 ° C, turning them half way through the cooking time. Or finish them
individually, in the pan, turning them once to serve
Lightly brown the gnocchi in a little hot oil in a pan, or reheat them
in the oven until they just begin to puff up.
Bring the sauce to the boil and skim if need be. Season to taste, then
reduce the heat and whisk in the butter.
Arrange the steak on a hot dinner plate, placing one or two discs of gnocchi
on top. Spoon over the rich Guinness sauce and sprinkle over the chopped chives.
Serve immediately, accompanied by braised cabbage and glazed root vegetables.

Glazed Leg of Ham with Guinness & Cardamom
You need:
1 x 7.5kg Leg cooked Ham
2 cups Guinness
1 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cardamom
Method:
Peel skin off ham, leaving portion around bone. Place ham fat side up (on
a rack if you have one). Pour 1 3/4 cups of stout over the ham. Bake in a
moderately slow oven 160c about 2 hours, basting occasionally with stout and
drippings.
Remove ham and baste with drippings. Score fat diagonally to form a diamond
pattern. Mix sugar, mustard, ginger and cardamom with enough stout to moisten.
Spread over ham. Increase oven temperature to hot (200c) and bake a further
35-45 minutes. Serve warm.
Serving suggestion:
Serve the ham with spiced fruits:
Drain large cans of peaches, apricots and pear halves - reserving the syrup
for later. Put 10 whole cloves, 1 stick cinnamon, 1/2 cup white vinegar, 1/2
cup sugar, and 2 oranges sliced, in a saucepan with 1 cup of the fruit syrup.
Bring to the boil then simmer for 15 minutes. Cool and chill.

Guinness Gammon & Spinach (Direct from St. James Gate)
4 lbs. center-leg cut of pale ham
1 c. brown sugar
1 pint Guinness
6 whole cloves
Leave the bone in the ham and soak overnight in cold water. Drain off,
place the ham in a deep pot with Guinness, sugar and cloves. Add enough water
to cover, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour then remove from the liquid.
The delicately enhanced flavor of the ham can now be savored either sliced
traditionally or served as thick gammon steaks.
In the case of the latter you will require a bone saw, then brown each side
gently on a pan in a little salted butter. Serve with boiled spinach and wedges
of lemon. (Serves 4-6)
--In James Joyce's Ulysses, as Leopold Bloom strolls towards O'Connell
Bridge his olfactory senses are assailed by the wafting airborne evidence
that meaty gammon steaks and spinach are being enjoyed nearby.

London Broil Stewed in Guinness
1 2-pound piece of London broil, cut at least 1 inch thick
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 strip breakfast bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 plump clove garlic, peeled and cut lengthwise into small spikes
1 bay leaf
1 large onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup stout or dark ale
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. 2. To prevent the meat from curling, trim
off and discard the integument that surrounds it. Pat the meat dry with paper
towels and sprinkle it all over with half the salt and pepper. Dredge with
the cornstarch, patting it well into the meat. Pierce the beef through in
half a dozen places. Press the thyme leaves into the bacon pieces and force
a piece of bacon and a garlic spike into each of the holes in the meat.
Lightly oil a heavy-bottomed braising pan. Place the bay leaf in the center
of the pan and the meat on top of it. Pile the onion slices on top of the
meat. . Mix the stout, honey, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce and pour over
the onions. Sprinkle on the rest of the salt and pepper.
Cover the mound of meat and onions with a sheet of waxed paper. Seal the pot
with two thicknesses of foil and press the lid down firmly . Put the pot in
the oven and bake, undisturbed, for 3 hours. Serve the beef hot, with the
thin sauce poured over it. Carve it at the table.
Author's Note:
The natural sauce from the beef will be full-bodied but thin. I sometimes
"finish" it by adding 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce and a thickening of 3
tablespoons of cornstarch dissolved in 3 tablespoons of cold water. When the
sauce has cooked and thickened sufficiently, salt it to taste and pour it
over the meat. Best accompaniment to this dish is creamy mashed potatoes.
Other fine complements are pureed turnips or buttered noodles.
