Ingredients in Guinness Beef and Potato Stew Recipe

Beef- The heme iron in red meat is easily absorbed by the body. Red meat also supplies vitamin B12, which helps make DNA and keeps nerve and red blood cells healthy, and zinc, which keeps the immune system working properly. Red meat provides protein, which helps build bones and muscles.
Onions- Onions not only provide flavor, they also provide important nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals. High in vitamin C, onions are a good source of dietary fiber, and folic acid. They also contain calcium, iron, and have a high protein quality (ratio of mg amino acid/gram protein).
Garlic- Garlic fights all types of infections—fungal, bacterial, parasitic, and viral—regulates blood sugar, lowers blood pressure, and lowers cholesterol, used widely as a flavoring in cooking, but it has also been used as a medicine throughout ancient and modern history.
Carrots- are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. They also have a number of health benefits. They’re a weight-loss-friendly food and have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health.
Potatoes- Potatoes have fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 content, coupled with its lack of cholesterol, all support heart health. Potatoes contain significant amounts of fiber. Fiber helps lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, thereby decreasing the risk of heart disease.
Thyme- is packed with vitamin C and is also a good source of vitamin A. If you feel a cold coming on, thyme can help get you back in good health. Another health benefit of thyme: It’s a good source of copper, fiber, iron, and manganese.
Parsley- Parsley is a versatile herb that provides a concentrated source of nutrients. It’s particularly rich in vitamins A, C, and K. The vitamins and beneficial plant compounds in parsley may improve bone health, protect against chronic diseases, and provide antioxidant benefits.

Laboratory studies have shown rosemary to be rich in antioxidants, which play an important role in neutralizing harmful particles called free radicals.

My Culinary Journey in Europe!

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 & Ireland Cronut’s!

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!

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!
