An Irish stew is wholesome, warming and full of flavour. Jamie Oliver’s take on the wintery recipe contains an extra ode to the Emerald Isle with a generous splash of Guinness.<\/p>\n
The meat Jamie uses is very nutritious and several health benefits. On his official website, Jamie said: “The benefit of skirt steak is that it\u2019s leaner than many other cuts of beef, plus it\u2019s high in the mineral zinc, which we need to keep our hair, skin and nails nice and healthy \u2013 triple win!”<\/p>\n
The recipe serves six people so is perfect for a family dinner at home. Feel free to amend quantities though depending on the size of your party.<\/p>\n
According to Jamie, the recipe is “not too tricky” to make, so even budding chefs can take on this cooking task.<\/p>\n
However, the dish does require some patience as it takes two and a half hours to put on the table.<\/p>\n
