Our Guinness Beef and Potato Stew Recipe & Dublin, Ireland is a winter must-try plus highlights from my trip to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, Ireland! Ireland just isn’t Ireland without a meat and potatoes meal!  As I’m sure you know, Ireland is famous for it’s hearty meals, most of which include in it.. somewhere.. some kind of cooked potato!  You’ll find them french fried, hashed, and even scalloped.  I’m a fan of potatoes since I was born in Idaho, which is almost as famous for their love and farming of them! All I have to say is Guinness Beef and Potato Stew Recipe will hit the spot!  Especially in the winter when we all love a bowl of warm and cozy stew.  It’s loaded with lots of potatoes, carrots, beef (or veal) all lovely in a beef broth and tomato base!

Guinness Beef and Potato Stew Recipe & Culinary Journey in Europe!

Hi!  It’s Ruthie here!!  I just recently spent 7 weeks in Europe on, quite frankly, the adventure I’ve dreamt of taking for ever so long!  Read more about my love of International cuisines by clicking Culinary Journey around the World! I was traveling solo (except for when Madeliene met me in Hamburg, Germany), exploring cities and cuisines, walking through chapter after chapter in history, AND completely falling in love with every moment!  If you’d like to catch all the highlights it’s over on our Cooking with Ruthie Instagram timeline!

Guinness Beef and Potato Stew Recipe & Guinness Storehouse Tour 

When you get the chance to spend time in Dublin, Ireland be sure go see the Guinness Storehouse it’s an experience you simply can not miss!  Whether or not you’d enjoy the perfect pint of Guinness that comes with every ticket- they’ve put together an extraordinary self-guided tour.  It’s filled with some history of Ireland, the journey of the company, and learning to pour the “perfect pint” at the Guinness Academy is super awesome too!

The top floor of the storehouse is called the Gravity Bar and it has 360 degree floor to ceiling windows with views that go on for days!  It’s just stunning and a popular destination for everyone there so it was pretty packed!! All you need to do is just get close enough to the windows so that you can see the description of the city scape which is written on the glass for you to pin point and enjoy!

CHEERS!

Guinness Beef and Potato Stew Recipe & Ireland Cronut’s!

Everywhere I turned I saw signs for Cronuts!  Plainly, I was intrigued and stopped into a KRUST cronut and coffee shop one evening as I was walking through downtown Dublin.

What is a Cronut?

Invented by Dominique Ansel in New York City, in his bakery of the same name, the cronut is a doughnut made with the light and flaky pastry of a croissant and covered in icing! A cronut is also filled with cream before being slathered in icing sugar! It is quite similar to how one might expect a doughnut to look. When they were first released, punters would buy the cronuts and re-sell Ansel’s pastries for up to $100 each.  WOW!

Guinness Beef and Potato Stew a traditional Irish recipe and every bite is over flowing with mouth-watering flavor!
