Saint Patrick's Day is only a few short days away, and while I know corned beef and cabbage is going to be on many an Irish dinner table that evening, I think this year we are going to shake things up just a bit and have beef stew. But not just any beef stew...beef stew that has been cooked slowly and lovingly all afternoon in a simmering bath of Guinness draught. Tender beef with lots of veggies and a sauce that will bring you right back to the old country, even if you have never been there.
