Slow Cooker
Irish Stew
INGREDIENTS

2 pounds of boneless beef
chuck roast cut into 1-inch
cubes; 1/4 cup unbleached,
all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoons
salt; 1/2 teaspoons black
pepper; 2 tablespoons olive
oil; 1 onion finely chopped;
1/2 cup beef broth; 1 bay leaf;
2 cup baby carrots; 4 russet
potatoes, peeled and cut into
1-inch chunks
DIRECTIONS

1. Place beef cubes, flour and
salt and pepper in a large ziptop bag or bowl. Seal and shake
to coat all cubes with flour or
stir gently.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil until
shimmering. Add beef cubes
and brown on all sides. Do not
crowd meat in pan. Do this in
batches if your pan is not large
enough to accommodate all the
meat at one time. As the meat
browns, remove it to crockpot.
3. Add onions to the drippings
in skillet and sauté until tender.
Add the onions to crockpot.

5 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces; Kosher salt;

ribbons; 3/4 cup of milk; 1/2 cup of heavy cream; Freshly ground black pepper

pot. 2. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large pot. Add green onions
and garlic, and cook until beginning to soften and smell fragrant, about 2 minutes.

comes to a simmer and kale wilts. 3. Use a potato masher to mash kale mixture
into potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. 4. Serve with remaining
2 tablespoons of butter and more cracked pepper on top. Source: delish.com
