How Well Do You Know Your Beef Cuts? And Some Beef Recipes

I realize red meat get a bad rap from a healthy eating point of view but like anything moderation is the key. Beef is such a versatile meat. Personally I tend to like the cheaper cuts which are cooked low and slow for maximum flavor.Here is useful Infographic on the uses for various cuts of beef. I am also sharing a couple of me favorite recipes.

Guinness is an incredible compliment to beef in a stew so click over and check out the Guinness Beef Hot Pot Recipe.guinness-beef-stew-hotpot

Just a Few of My Irish Photos For St Pats

I am hoping to make a trip to Ireland in June and wanted to share a few of my photos from previous trips. I was in Manhattan yesterday but did not go to the St Patricks Day parade. I am going for a few beers later but it will be at my local Applebee's which will be my token Irish bar for a day. They have a full day of happy hour prices so it should be fun.
