Guinness and Coffee Beef Stew with Homemade Irish Soda Bread

And now, without further ado, we bring to you Sir Andrew Hass of Fat Kiddington Nomsenshire.  

Guinness and Coffee Beef Stew


1 lb of organic beef
1-2 organic tomatoes (depending on size) or 1-2 cups cherry tomatoes
3 organic carrots
3 stalks of organic celery
1 organic yellow onion
3 organic red potatoes
1 stick of organic pasture butter
4 cloves of organic garlic
1 12oz bottle of Guinness
1/2 cup of coffee
Rosemary, Sage, Salt and Pepper


The day before making your stew, simply cube your beef and place it in a bowl.  Marinate the beef in 1/4 cup of black coffee and 1/4 cup of Irish whiskey.  You can also dice up your tomatoes and add them to this if you want.  That's how I do it, it's good, and you should want to be awesome like me.  Also, this gives you a good excuse to crack open your whiskey.  To finish making your stew, follow the instructional video made exclusively by us, at our state of the art Fat Kid Noms laboratory.


We now return you to your regularly scheduled drooling.

Traditional Irish Soda Bread


4 cups of all purpose flour
1 heaping teaspoon baking soda
1 heaping teaspoon salt
11/2 cups buttermilk


This bread is so good it borders on being obnoxious.  It's a super easy process.  If you can't make this bread, don't ever try to bake anything ever again.  You'll probably just end up setting yourself on fire if you try.  Take your ingredients, mix them in a bowl until a dough forms.  Take the dough, roll it into a rough ball shape, place it in a greased pan.  This works best in a dutch oven, but if you don't have one that is okay.  Simply take your circular baking pan and cover it with another one.  This will trap the moisture in your bread making it moist and delicious and a little sexy.  Pop that bad boy in the oven at 425 for 30 minutes.  When your alarm goes off, take the bread out of the oven, uncover it, sprinkle with a few drops of water and place back in the oven for 15 more minutes.  When this is done, put it on a plate.  This last part is important.  If it doesn't make it to a plate it may not get eaten with stew.  If that happens, your day will suck.  Just saying.

Plated.  Food coma commenced approximately 10 minutes later.
