Recipes Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes Stews Irish Stew Recipes Leslie's Irish Stew 5.0 (2) 1 Review 1 Photo While touring Ireland, our family ordered Irish stew at most of the many pubs and restaurants we ate at in order to determine what features we liked best in an Irish stew. This recipe is my attempt to recreate the flavor we preferred. The broth is made the day ahead and I like to use the slow cooker, but the recipe could be adapted for the oven or stovetop.
