Union Jack PJ's Ulterior Motive Stew
2 pounds of beef or lamb
1 cup of Guinness (or your favorite dark stout)
1 tablespoon of Irish butter, softened
1 tablespoon of Ulster's finest whiskey
1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the meat and cook until browned, or until you get a good story out of it.
3. Add the Guinness, butter, and whiskey. Stir until the liquid is reduced and the flavors have mingled like a good conspiracy.
4. Add the vegetables and spices, and stir until they're all cozy like a well-bred Irish family.
