Step by Step Method
Step 1
Trim the meat, leaving a little of the fat and slice.
Step 2
Season the meat and veggies with salt, pepper, 2 teaspoons of parsley and the thyme.
Step 3
Layer the potatoes, meat and onions in a large casserole, starting and finishing with a layer of potatoes.
Step 4
Add the water and cover tightly.
Step 5
Cook in a preheated oven at 275 degrees for 2 1/2 hours, shake occasionally to prevent sticking, and check liquid now and then; do not add unless absolutly necessary.
Step 6
The potatoes will thicken the finished stew so it should not be too runny.
Step 7
Just before serving, remove lid and brown the top under a hot broiler and sprinkle with remaining parsley.
Step 8
The potatoes on top should be nice and brown and crisp.
