📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Beef stewed in stout is a staple of Irish pub menus. The bittersweet stout tenderizes the meat and makes a deep, rich sauce. It's often made for St. Patrick's Day (March 17) and eaten with mashed potato or soda bread.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On St. Patrick's Day, in a pub decked out in green, steaming beef stew sits beside glasses of stout.
