Beer and Beef! That’s what I’m talking about. This Guinness Beef Stew is perfect to feed and army of your cold and hungry buds.
It’s a man’s world. From men getting the upper hand with those little blue pills to making more in the work place, men seem to have the upper hand. And when it comes to all things meat, men seem to have the lead as well. While women are still expected to put on their pearls and bake a cute pie. But I’m here to put a wrench in that way of thinking. I work in a male dominated industry, bust my ass in a male dominated sport, and in general find myself out numbered by swinging you know what’s then I should probably admit. And when it comes to meat – I am the master in our house. From butchering and grinding to grilling and smoking. My man knows not to set foot in my territory unless he wants to deal with snarling teeth and a bit of growling.
That’s what Girl Carnivore is all about. Breaking down the mold, rolling up our sleeves and getting girls in front of an open flame without fear and maybe a little ridiculousness.

You are totally my hero!! LOVE what you are doing with this site, and I get it. When we redid our backyard my husband spent hours with the designer planning the grilling area, the perfect location and setting of said grill so that he could “be King of the grill” and overlook his yard while he was grilling. In the last 8 years he’s grilled twice. Yep… twice. That grill is MINE! Starting about this time of year I grill nearly every night. Not all carnivore, I’ve learned lots of veggies, pizzas, breads, etc on the grill, but I’m so looking forward to your carnivore recipes!!

Hahaha, Same here! (well, minus the outdoor area) but Handsome won’t touch the grill. It kind of makes me sad. :/ You should have heard the panic when he had to buy a pork shoulder once…. due to the ‘skin’ he came home with a pork loin. So much for smoking that.

My attempt at this stew is in the oven, the last 30 minutes….I’ve sampled and WOW….it’s sooooo good!
Jeanette says
