Gordon Ramsay’s Lamb Stew is a slow-cooked dish made with lamb shoulder or leg, vegetables, red wine, and fresh herbs, creating a deep, savory gravy. The slow cooking process ensures the lamb becomes tender and fall-apart soft, making it a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 900g (2 lbs) lamb shoulder (cut into chunks)
  • 2 tbsp plain flour

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Lamb

  • Stir in the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Step 3: Build the Flavor

Step 4: Simmer the Stew

  • Return the browned lamb to the pot.
  • Add lamb stock, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and bay leaf.
  • Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for 1½ to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 5: Check the Consistency
