Keeping Sunday Special (Guinness Beef Stew)

Still keeping the tradition of Rice on Sundays! Today, I decided to take my family on a mini taste bud journey to Ireland…Yes the Irish Guinness Stew! It is a Mini journey as traditionally, the Irish would make this with lamb but I chose to use beef today. I know you want to know if the stew tastes like guinness….No it doesn’t, the beer only makes it more flavorful and hearty! I am pretty excited because cooking with alcohol makes me feel like a pro chef *laughs* And no worries if you do not take alcohol, although I do not know about any substitutes for dark beer, you could just use water instead….
