Guinness Beef Stew For a Winter Day
I have made this Cook’s Country, Guinness Beef Stew several times. It is not difficult and has velvety texture that is great with bread on a cold winter night. It was the last meal I made from scratch for my mother, before she passed away. She loved it. She was eating very little, up until that day. It is not a quick dinner, so it is ideal for a weekend – but it is so worth the effort. Ideal for a cold-weekend winter day. This will take time to prepare, but is so worth it. See another stew recipe at Bachelor Beef Stew.

Easy steak rub/marinade
Last night, we shared a porterhouse steak cooked on the gas grill. It was amazing. I came up with a new marinade that was EASY and flavorful. Blot dry your steak with paper towels to allow your rub to adhere. Using our tenderizer, I pressed holes into the steak to allow the marinade to soak in. Liberally sprinkle your rub on the steak, pressing down the herbs to adhere. I used Dizzy Pigs “Raise the Steaks” Place steak in a zip lock bag.
