Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 pound lamb stew meat
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
12 boiling onions, peeled
5 medium russet potatoes, peeled, quartered
2 large carrots, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
10 small bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 cups canned beef broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Melt butter in heavy large Dutch oven over high heat. Season lamb with salt and pepper. Add lamb to pot and sauté until brown, about 5 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Add onions, potatoes, carrots, bay leaves and thyme and stir 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until lamb and vegetables are almost tender, about 1 hour.
Uncover stew and simmer until gravy thickens and lamb and vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes longer. Add parsley. Season stew to taste with salt and pepper.
