What you’ll need to make Irish Pork Stew

• 3 ½ lbs of bone-in pork shoulder blade steak, or about 3lbs of cubed meat + bones
• ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ teaspoons of kosher salt, divided
• 2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper, divided
• 3 tablespoons of canola oil
• 3 medium-sized yellow onions, chopped
• ½ lb of brown mushrooms, quartered
• 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds
• 1 ½ cups of Irish Stout
• 1 ½ cups of water
• 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
• ½ lb baby Yukon Gold or small red potatoes, quartered
• ¼ cup of parsley

How to prepare Irish Pork Stew

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F
2. Trim the bones from the pork shoulder steaks, and set it aside. Then, trim the fat from the meat, discard the fat, and cut the pork into 1-inch cubes.
3. In a resealable freezer bag, combine your flour, a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of pepper. Add the pork and shake to coat.
4. Heat a tablespoon of oil in The Pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add half of the meat so it covers it evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes before moving so that it browns evenly for a total of about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the meat to a bowl, and add another tablespoon of oil to The Pan and finish browning the rest of the meat.
5. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the last tablespoon of oil to The Pan and heat until it’s shimmering. Add the onions and mushrooms, then cook until they soften for approximately 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add the seeds, kosher salt, and pepper and cook for about 2 minutes.
7. Add the raw pork bones to The Pan and top with cooked pork chunks. Add the Irish Stout and water, then raise the heel to bring to a boil.
8. Cover The Pan with the lid and transfer it to the oven to cook for 1 hour.
9. Remove it from the oven, and lastly add carrots and potatoes. Then, cover it and put it back in the oven for about 1 to 1 ½ hours until everything is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened.
10. Remove the pot from the oven and then remove the bones from the stew. Add parsley and stir everything together. Add more salt and pepper if you feel necessary. If that is unneeded, serve hot.
