Beer Braised Beef - always a good start!Cooking with beer. Just makes you feel good to hear those words to start a post doesn’t it? This week I turned to AllRecipes.com for inspiration, and found a new go-to dish. I modified this recipe to make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free beer from 10Barrels brewing, and using an all-purpose gluten free flour mix from Bob’s Red mill. The only other change I made was to use red potatoes instead of russets.

Recipe is here for you to give it a try! The beef was as tender as anything I’ve ever made, it almost melts in your mouth. The Colcannon was what made this meal interesting. The little bit of crunch and slight bite from the cabbage and the richness of the bacon really kicked up the mashed potatoes. I had never heard of Colcannon before, but even the kids agreed it was great. I may never make mashed potatoes any other way again.

A nice big plate of Fat Boy Heaven right here!
