Flaherty's Irish Stew

 Suggested ingredients (but feel free to add or change – that’s the fun of cooking):

 2 tablespoons of oil

1 onion cut up

5 carrots cut in thin slices

1 1/2 lb beef (we use steak)

1 oz of flour

6 potatoes

3/4 cup of water

Salt and pepper and red wine to taste

 Directions:  Heat oil in large pan. Add onions to the oil. Add carrots and cook for a few minutes. Cut steak into small pieces and add to onions & carrots. Add sliced and peeled potatoes.  Pour in water, season to taste with sat, pepper and red wine and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat until meat and vegetables are tender. Stew can be thickened by adding 1 oz  of flour. 

Serve with fresh bread – especially Irish Brown Bread.
