You’ll want to grab a plate and pull up a seat at this gorgeous Irish inspired dinner because Chef Jason at Homespun has prepared a truly drool-worthy menu. Think tender seasoned beef that doesn’t require a knife anywhere near it, sweet, yet savory roasted vegetables and a warm loaf of homemade Irish soda bread with fresh parsley and chives fresh out of the oven. This is one of those meals that you’ll be sorry to join the “clean plate club” for, but don’t worry…it all tastes even better on your second helping.
Thank your oh-so-handy dutch oven for working the magic on these braised beef short ribs. They’re truly slow cooked to perfection alongside a glorious mix of fingerlings, carrots, celery and garlic. Guinness, wine and sherry vinegar offer quite the tasty base for the beef, while a sachet of fresh rosemary, thyme and salt and pepper provide the last layer of seasonings.
Irish soda bread really needs no introduction, am I right? But this gorgeous loaf (yes, bread can totally be gorgeous) reminds us all just how much better homemade really tastes. Just don’t even THINK about serving it without that creamy, local grass fed butter.
If your St. Patrick’s Day gathering doesn’t include a warm, comforting meal like this with a big glass of Guinness…well, you may want to reconsider. Big thanks to the entire creative team on this shoot for inspiring us with a truly stunning St. Patty’s Day spread. Cheers, Kat
