BEEF, STEWED (Irish method)

Divide two pounds of beef into small pieces--any part will do--and put them into an earthenware pan with a tight-fitting cover, with a pint and a half of water, two or three onions, a carrot cut up, and a little salt and pepper. Stew all together in the oven for an hour or more. Lay on the top some peeled potatoes, cover up and put it back into the oven for an hour and a half more, when the potatoes will be reduced to a mash, and the stew will be, as all Irish stews are, excellent. Probable cost, 2s. Sufficient for four or five persons. (See IRISH STEW.)
