wanna know why no one in australia ever cooks irish stew in march?
because its ****ing summer (can i swear in this thread? if not, sorry, i will edit

)
that said, i've had this on low simmer in my newly birthday'ed, porcelain exterior-ed, cast iron dutch oven. stove top. beef chunks, not precut, onion, mushroom, celery, carrot, potato, cabbage with thyme, red wine and balsamic vinegar. beef and veggie stock. bay, garlic, and beer. served with damper rolls toasted with cheese
