This is the Best Ever Beef Stew
This Irish Beef Stew with mashed potatoes is truly exceptional. While the stew is stellar on its own with super tender meat, gravy (aka liquid gold) and sweet carrots & peas, but totally life changing when paired with mashed potatoes. Who doesn’t love a creamy spud? Trust me, one bite and you won’t regret serving it this way.
Beef Stew Meat Recipe Ingredients
- olive oil
- stew meat

- chuck roast
- short rib
- bottom round roast
- top round roast
- arm roast
- oxtail

How to make the Best Beef Stew
1. Brown Stew Meat
Season beef with salt and pepper to taste. In a large pot or deep skillet, brown stew meat in olive oil until browned on all sides.
2. Add Onions, Carrots, Garlic + Spices
Add in onions, carrots, garlic, and spices, including Bay Leaf. Cook another 5 minutes or so.
Deglaze pan with beef broth. Cover and simmer 2-4 hours or until meat is very tender.
3. Thicken Stew + Serve
Once meat is tender and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, remove bay leaf.
In a small bowl, stir softened butter and flour together until smooth and incorporated. Add butter mixture into the stew with the frozen peas. Stir to combine. Once the gravy thickens slightly, it’s done. Serve hot and over mashed potatoes (optional).
Serving Suggestions for the Best Stew Recipe
While this is completely optional, adding a heaping scoop of stew poured over mashed potatoes is amazing! Make sure your mashed potatoes are extra creamy, buttery and tangy! Find out my secret ingredient here.
Beef Stew with Potatoes storage
Allow stew to cool completely. Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the fridge. Beef Stew will be good for 4-5 days.
Freezing this Beef Stew Recipe
Place stew in a freezer safe container, or freezer ziploc bags. Using quart size bags would allow you to freeze single size serving portions to heat up for lunch!
Reheating this Best Ever Beef Stew

Thank you so much for posting this recipe! SO Sorry their has to be someone who spoils the trouble you went to. Thanks again..
My go to for beef stew! This recipe is easy and tastes AMAZING!! I blew the socks off my parents one visit when I cooked this for them. They asked for the recipe too!
Interesting to me that this recipe is almost identical to an Irish stew recipe served over mashed potatoes that was published several years ago by Damn Delicious.
Gina, this recipe was originally published in 2013 and it’s not even close to the one you mentioned, unless by “identical” you mean completely different. But thank you for your interest in my blog and the all of the time you spent making baseless accusations.
I’ve been making this same recipe for over 10 years and also have made the damn delicious recipe you referred to. This one is better and not at all the same.
I made this last week. I barely used to like beef stew but made it because my husband loves it. I have to say this easy recipe has completely made me a fan! Loved it with the mashed potatoes! Absolutely delicious!!
Why is the meat in my stews always tough?
I have made this a gazillion times. It is my absolute favorite!
I made it last night on the recommendation of my daughter and it was a huge hit! The only thing I did differently was omit the Rosemary (I cannot stand the taste of it) My daughter scarfed it down. Having it over mashed potatoes made it that more delicious!

Gonna try this in the Instant Pot
The flavors of this Irish stew are ahhh-mazing! I used ground beef because that’s what I had on hand. We ladled the stew onto a mound of sharp white cheddar mashed potatoes. Yum!!!
This is almost like my recipe excep we add egg noddles to it then pour on mashed potatoes …it’s like starch heaven…lol
just an FYI that your hyperlink to your mashed potatoes in the recipe portion is broken. Love this recipe, back to make it a 2nd time.
Best beef stew I’ve ever eaten! I was looking for something similar to what I once ate in Ireland and this is it! I doubled it to have leftovers and made a garlic mashed potato to put it over. I will add this to my collection of must have comfort foods!!
This turned out great. The butter/flour combo added at the end is such a great idea. I always used to struggle with getting my stew thick and gravy-like. This is thick and full of flavor.

Came to your blog knowing I would find a beef stew recipe for tomorrow night! This recipe looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it .
Great recipe, it’s a keeper! We loved it and will go into our recipe book. “Roux” (flour with butter) is a SC Lowcountry staple from wayyy back. It originated with the Gullah people. It is the best part, other than onions and garlic, in many Lowcountry dishes.
Love this recipe!!! My children ask for it all the time.
My favorite recipe of yours!! One of my go to’s for sure!

This was delicious! I made it for my kids on Easter, one with meat and one without (two daughters are vegans) and everyone LOVED it. I am making it again tonight!

I feel like this recipe doesn’t get enough hype! It is so good and I feel like I’m always going to need to make my gravy with a butter/flour mixture from now on! Yummo!!!

This recipe for Irish Beef Stew has changed the way I cook beef roast and stews. I used to cook them less often because it was too much work and sometimes didn’t turn out. Since trying this recipe I cook in my cast iron pot all the time! It always turns out great and super tender. I have modified the seasoning and the size of beef chunks to give variation and sometimes I add potatoes about 2 hours before dinner time (after the beef has had plenty of time on its own). Sometimes I skip the peas. It’s easy and always so good. Thank you!!
This was the first recipe I saw from Lauren’s site. I have made this recipeso many times I have lost count. Everytime is as good as the first time. It is now a household staple and my husband is thrilled. His mom used to make a stew like this when he was younger. I highly recommend people try this.
This is one of my favorite dinners and I don’t even care that much for beef. I make it in my crockpot and the whole house smells so good!
This is my all time favorite Beef Stew Recipe! I make it at least once a month and more often this time of year. I double the butter/flour mixture (butter makes everything better).
Yummy! Reminds me of when my husband and I were first married (30 years ago) and we would have stew over mashed potatoes or rice. This recipe looks so good! I always shied away from Irish stew because I thought it had a very strong flavor, but this looks yummy!
This looks so delicious. I can’t wait to try it.
Making this tonight hopefully it turns out good! Thanks for the recipe!

I absolutely love this recipe! I’ve made it several times and will continue to do so. Thanks!
Just wanted to thank you for such a delicious recipe. Not many recipes have made it into our regular rotation, but this one has been a staple for the past few years. I think it might be my favorite recipe in our rotation, and we try a LOT of new recipes!
I tried it in the pressure cooker (Instant Pot) tonight for the first time and it worked really well – just follow the recipe as directed until you hit the slow cooking stage, and then pressure cook 35 minutes and use natural pressure release. So easy!
Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know you love the recipe! This makes my heart so happy!!! I need to get an instant pot–everyone is saying how amazing they are!
Fantastic! Made this tonight for St. Paddy’s Day. Used 1lb of beef shoulder roast that I cubed. Also ended up having to add 1 cup of broth because most of my liquid had evaporated. And to save on calories I eliminated the butter/flour thickener and opted for 1T of cornstarch dissolved in water. The beef was so tender and the stew was so flavorful! Even my picky 5 year old that doesn’t eat anything with sauce said it was great!

Hello from Ireland!
I’m Sandra and l love stews especially on cold days to tell you the truth l could eat stew everyday. Well yours looks just scrummy l showed your pic with the creamy mashed potatoes and said” do you remember love the creamy spuds with stew on top?” “Ahh do l ever says e.” So l told him, let’s forget eating the spuds with their schkins on and bein healthy l’ll make it just like er Mammys made it mmnnn can’t wait see e and me together. So my dear this is what your your lrish stew pic did for me and instead of my usual Stew l’m making yours l know it’ll be delish. By the way we’ll adopt ye onto our Kelly clan from Dublin. Anyone who can make such appealing lookin stews is Irish by me. I really enjoyed your lrish stew blog your a woman after me own heart with an lrish Dub sense of humour. Yi had me and the hubby laughing thanks. O by the way it was yer Granny purl that led me to the stew. Gosh hope l got me pins right and the seaming was yes. Anyway cailin blessings from lreland. ????
I STRONGLY (yes, all caps) that you make a double batch of this. It is so delicious, plate-licking delicious! It’s my family’s favorite!
Found your post on Pinterest today, and tried the Irish stew recipe tonight. It’s SO good and comforting! I paired it with some good crusty bread. SO GOOD. Thanks for sharing!
Just now downed the first bowl, speed-typing so I can grab another *0* <3 My broth had a big soup bone simmering for 24 hours, and the butter-flour thickening technique made the wait that much more worth it. This was my first time making stew /and/ soda bread. So easy, I'm in love!
Made this last night. Everyone loved it! Will definitely make it again 🙂
sounds yummy
Hi I am from Ireland.. Your stew looks very nice, similar to one I make, my mothers recipe and probably her mothers before her. I would not put peas in my stew, maybe on the side. I use carrots, parsnips and sometimes a little turnip. Mushrooms are also nice. You are right cooking long and slow is the best way to cook stews and it’s always better the next day.
Irish stew is made with lamb not beef but we make stews with beef also.
We don’t usually use beer in stews but ther is a beef stew made with Guinness, I prefer without.
this looks fantastic and so yummy! Thank you!
Made your Irish Stew for dinner (minus the bay leaf didn’t have any) my family loved it. I liked the butter and flour mixture, easy and no lumps. Thank you much.

Best Irish Stew recipe ever. Can’t wait for a chilly or rainy day!
I am Scottish of Irish descent and I have been making stew for years. I use a couple of tins of oxtail soup or one tin of condensed oxtail soup instead of the beef broth, can you get this in the USA? Gives it a lovely flavour. Great idea with the butter and flour I will need to try that.
I’m always looking for great recipes for my slow cooker. I love the ingredients of this dish. Will definitely try to make it.
This doea sound good, but you’re making it wrong. It’s called Shepherd’s Pie, the stew on the bottom with mashed taters on top, then bake for A little while. I’ve been to Ireland and that’s how it’s supposed to be made.
My only suggestion is to double the recipe because you will want LOTS of leftovers!!!
Oh wow, this was delicious!!! Definitely making this again!

This was AMAZING! Like many others, I’ve never heard of the butter/flour thickening approach. Such great favors! This is going into the cold weather rotation for sure!
I am making this stew right know!!!!! Very excited!!!!
This is getting to be an older post, but I had to write in and comment as I just discovered this recipe recently. I have made it twice and plan on making it again tomorrow. It is the best beef stew I have ever had! It is definitely best served over mashed potatoes as I just added cubes of potatoes in it the second time, and it needed that creamy pillow of deliciousness under for it to be its best! I had also never heard of mixing butter and flour to thicken a stew and loved it! I have used that in other recipes now too and it works great every time! Thanks, Lauren, for a great recipe!
Lauren….finally!!! After 37 years of marriage, with your help, I finally made a beef stew that did not come out of a can that my husband actually liked!!! No negative comments from him at all….that in itself is amazing..lol. Thanks so much for sharing with us, and I look forward to trying many more of your recipes.
I saw this mentioned on The Hungry Housewife. I’m not a cook (the only reason I have a kitchen is because it came with the house!) But I tried this, and it was GREAT! so easy and delicious.. even my Chef-in-training son said it was awesome! Can’t wait until your next recipe!
[…] Friday: Irish Beef Stew […]
This stew sounds wonderful! What might you suggest to flavor it with in place of the rosemary?
This looks so yummy and I just love the recipe with pics to follow. Can’t wait for the 3rd so I can buy the stuff to make it.
This is a great site! My wife and I value it as one of the few recipe resources that we go to for great ideas to feed our family. Our only concern is about the types of ads that will sometimes appear on the left side…
Hi Lauren, in Ireland we call this beef casserole and do eat it with potatoes. Irish stew is slightly different. We fry the diced beef that has been coated in flour until brown and then add the stock. Lower the temp and let it cook in a saucepan for 30 mins. Then add onion, carrots and potatoes, cover and cook on a low temp for a couple of hours and serve steaming hot in a large bowl. Every family has their own take on the basic receipe but I just leave it like that. Fabulous on a cold wet day.
I am super excited I finally found the recipe for this! I have seen the photo pinned several times without a link to your blog. You may want to start adding a watermark to your photos so we can all find you! This looks amazing and I am going to make it tonight 🙂

Lolo! This is simmering away on my stove top as I type. Smells scrumptious! Trying the accompanying mashed potatoes, but I’m suspicious about the cream cheese. Thanks for the festive idea!
This turned out fabulous! Totally making this my go-to for beef stew. Also loved the mashed potatoes- couldn’t taste the cream cheese at all.
Awesome recipe, made it for St.Patrick’s Day. First time I used butter and flour for a thickening, usually used flour and water. Will make again.

We had this stew for supper…It was delicious.. I added a small rutabaga and green beans….Yum!!!
HAVE to use Guinness!!
I’ve been looking for a simple, yet delicious, recipe for Irish Stew. I tweaked yours a bit and OMG it’s the Best. Thing. Ever.
I added a can of Guinness and barley instead of peas. I also served it over colcannon for an added dose of Irishness (and vegetables). It’s meals like this that make me so happy I’m the one that made it. Why go out for dinner when I can feed my belly for days with something this delicious?!
Total win!

how about using EVOO in place of the butter?
yup, it should work just as well!
I made this substituting green beans for the peas. I added them at the same time given for the peas. Can’t help it … I really dislike peas! Would have never thought to serve over mashed potatoes … it was Outstanding!!!! Thank you for the recipe.

I just wanted to share with you the way I cook my meat, you all should try this. I purchase boneless country ribs. pork or beef (both work great) I roll them individually in chili power , garlic power & parsley flakes. then I wrap them individually in saran wrap and place them in my oven for 6 hours on 250. no higher or the plastic will melt then. when there done they will be very moist then I cut them in chunks for the rest of my ingredients for my stew. Enjoy. It sounds like alot of work , but it really isn’t and its well worth it. you will never cook your meat the other way again.

This is the best recipe for beef stew I have found!! And I have searched everywhere, including Grandma and Great Grandma’s secret recipe boxes! (Both Irish!) It is so soooooo easy too! I don’t really care for potatoes boil in stews or roasted with a pot roast and the mashed potatoes are the perfect solution. My family loves it and I thank you for sharing it!
Just made this for supper tonight……..YUM, so comforting on a cold and blustery night. fast easy and Delicious. it’s a keeper!
Just saw this on your FB post. Honestly, I drooled a little bit when I saw it. Thanks!
Wow! This is delish! I couldn’t stand stew growing up! This recipe is simple, makes the house smell amazing and tastes even better. Even my picky teens love it! I do add the beer for a depth of flavor. It’s one of our favorite dinners now!!! Thank you! Love your recipes!!!
glad I could help, Sally!
I made this tonight and my husband said it was the best beef stew he’s ever had! I loved it as well! Thanks for the delicious recipe.
I made this tonight in the crockpot, will be dinner tomorrow. It is sooo tasty. I added chopped potatoes to the stew rather than serving it over mashed and it still turned out great. I’m just wondering what kind of fry pan you use. I need a new one and would like a recommendation for something other than non-stick.
Made this today for our Christmas dinner….it was FANTASTIC! Thank You for sharing!!!

Wonderful stew…my family loved it! The flour/butter concoction did make the best gravy ever. I will be using this method more often to thicken stew. Thanks for sharing!
This is absolutely the BEST stew I have ever eaten in my life!!!
I had a great recipe but I have been told by my family that THIS is my new recipe!
Thanks so much!
Hi I was wondering now long do you put it in the crockpot for? Do you cook it on high or low?
Thanks I am making this today and am trying to figure out when to start cooking!
I would say cook it 3 hours on high, or 5-6 hours on low or until the meat is fork tender.
Made this the other night and it was DELICIOUS!! My husband LOVED it! Thank you for such an easy recipe! Will become a family staple for sure : )
Hi

And I can’t wait to try your recipes.

this looks and sounds amazing… i love making a stew and serving it over mashed potatoes! it was so nice meeting you this past weekend at Food Blog Forum!
I love stew over mashed potatoes so much! For sure going to give this a try! Thanks for posting, love your blog!
Found this recipe through Pinterest. We made it tonight and it was DELICIOUS! My hubby requested that it go into our regular rotation. 🙂
Mmmmmmmmm, Irish stew is sooooooo good, but I have never thought to put it over mashed potatoes! That just ups the goodness factor by about 1000% percent!
Total comfort food. I want some now!!
This looks truly delicious. I am strongly thinking about making this tomorrow. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Yum this looks incredible! I saw the picture on twitter last night but I couldn’t figure out what it was. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Perfect comfort food. Do people still pinch each other on St. Patrick’s? Green is so not my colour.
I love that your recipes don’t involve ingredients I have to run all over town to find! Thanks for all the great food!
This looks amazing! Happy St Patrick’s Day. 😀
I need to make this 😀
This looks so delicious, especially over that pile of steaming mashed potato.
Awesome stew recipe and great combination with mashed potato
I love that you’ve served it over mashed potatoes…and with peas….mmmmmm.

I am just discovering your blog and I think this looks so tasty! Perfect for this weekend 🙂
That looks delicious! I definitely have to try it. Love the flour/butter trick.
My husband LOOOOOVES stew, but I never make it. I think I need to surprise him with this tomorrow!!
This looks fabulous. I’ve been looking for a good beef stew recipe, and this one is simple and classic. I can’t wait to try it! (Yes, I will be the girl eating stew in 70-degree weather and I will be PROUD of it!)
That butter and flour trick is really cool – I think I’ll have to try that for any stews I make, starting with this. Goodness, how good does that look spooned all over those creamy, dreamy mashed potatoes?!
My German Mother called it Mehlschwitze, it also makes a super creamy white sauce.
I’m coming over for dinner.
How delish!! I have to make some Irish soda bread for the Tuesdays with dorie group..well now u know what I’ll be pairing it up with..!! the soda bread will be perfect for mopping up the stew gravy!!
I have always used flour mixed with water to thicken a stew but your way with butter sounds so much more sumptious. I am of Irish extraction though I live in New Zealand and I used to make Irish stew for my father when he came over to eat with us. Sadly he is no longer with us and I no longer make it. Great memories though.
That is a beautiful stew! ….Butter and flour? ….wow, I have to try it….I’ve been cooking for 40 years and have never heard of this!
I just made this tonight and it was FANTASTIC! The whole family loved it! The butter and flour idea is genius! DELISH!!
OMG I made this last night, it was The Bomb…I only put in mushrooms and we had it with toasted english muffins…I can tell you this will be a weekly event!!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!!n My hub ate 3 bowls..ha
