Recipe by GrandpaVern

In search of a South Beach friendly Irish stew for St. Patrick's Day I borrowed from recipes #415390, #120019 & #313516. It turned out very well and I look forward to left-overs tomorrow. I would guess that this would qualify for a South Beach Phase 2 (or 2 and 1/2) unless you drink the rest of the Guinness in the 6-pack while waiting for it to cook.

DIRECTIONS

Brown the stewing beef in the olive oil, in a hot frying pan. Just brown the outsides.
Combine the beef with the rest of the ingredients in a large crock pot (I use a 6 quart). Cook on low for 5 or 6 hours, or until the wife comes home (extra time isn't going to hurt it).
