Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ¼ cup water or broth, or as needed (Optional)

Directions

Step 1
Combine vegetable oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Add cubed lamb and marinate for about 30 minutes.

Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown meat on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove meat and set aside. Reduce heat, add onion, and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Return cooked lamb to skillet. Mix in beer and cilantro. Season with bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cover skillet and simmer over low heat for about 1 hour. Add potatoes, cover, and cook over low heat until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes, adding water or broth if there is not enough liquid in the skillet.

Cook’s Note:

You can also use lamb leg for this stew.
