• Put the sliced ingredients into the pot in layers. Start with a layer of half of the sliced onions, then a layer of half of the sliced potatoes, one sprig of thyme, and half of the lamb. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients; layer in the rest of the sliced onions, then the sliced potatoes, the other sprig of thyme, and the rest of the lamb. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour the beer over the layered ingredients in the pot. Set the pressure cooker pot over medium-high heat, but don't cover. (Use saute mode in an Instant Pot.) Bring the beer to a boil, and boil for 1 minute. (Listen for the boil - you won't be able to see it in the bottom of the pot.) Pour in the two cups of water.
• Sprinkle the chunked potatoes and carrots with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and the minced parsley. Put the potatoes and carrots in a vegetable steaming basket, and set the basket in the pressure cooker, directly on top of the layered ingredients.

Cook at high pressure for 18 minutes in an electric pressure cooker, or 15 minutes in a stovetop PC. Let the pressure come down naturally, about 20 minutes.

Fish out the thyme sprigs and discard. Stir the basket of potatoes and carrots into the stew. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Serve by ladling out a bowl full of solids, then pour a few ladles of broth over the top.
