Directions:

1. In a large heavy saucepan, heat 1/2 of the oil. Add 1/2 of the lamb
or beef and cook until well browned on one side, 5-7 min. Stir and
cook 1 minute longer; remove meat and set aside. Add the remaining oil
the lamb (or beef) and the chopped onion to the pan and cook until
browned, about 8-10 min. Return the first batch of meat to the pan.

2. Add broth and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add thyme and bay
leaf; lower heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour.

3. Add potatoes, onions, ale and salt. Cover and simmer until potatoes
are tender, 30-40 minutes.

4. To thicken stew, add cornstarch to 1/4 cup cold water in a small
bowl; stir until smooth. Add to simmering stew; stir gently until
thickened. Garnish with parsley; serve with bread.
