Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless lamb chops

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • ½ cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)

  • 1 pound new potatoes

  • 1 pound baby carrots

  • 1 (8 ounce) package pearl onions

  • 4 cups lamb stock

  • 2 tablespoons brown roux

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Directions

  1. Season lamb chops with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until hot but not smoking; add chops. Sear on each side, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. Pour beer into the pot and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add lamb back to the pot.

  4. Toss potatoes, carrots, and onions with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and add to the pot. Cover with lamb stock and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until lamb falls off the bone, about 2 hours. Stir in roux and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Stir in parsley and spoon into serving bowls.

Cook's Notes:

Make sure your chops are about 1 inch thick.

You can use any dark beer.
