Cheap pieces of meat that took longer to cook were utilised, most typically beef, mutton, or lamb. In most cases, these cuts were more flavourful, and the lengthy, slow cooking durations ensured the meat was meltingly soft in the ultimate result.

Everyone has their own distinctive recipe for Irish Stew, with various meats, veggies, the inclusion of Guinness or barley, or varying cooking times.
