This is the first recipe in the book, The Cast Iron Way to Cook by Sue Cutts. I enjoyed preparing this recipe. I did not have any difficulties.
After preparing the recipe and putting it in the oven, I was finished. It cooked all afternoon. I picked up my daughter from school on a rainy afternoon. I stopped by the bakery and picked up some crusty bread and we enjoyed our dinner.
The only thing I would change next time, and this is only because of our personal taste, is not adding so many carrots. We are not carrot people.
What I did find amazing was how tender the meat was. I told my friends about this recipe and how tender the meat was. My friends have been cooking with beer for a while and agreed that beef cooked in beer made it very tender.
All in all it was a fabulous experience. I don't have pictures of the final dish. Next time I prepare this meal I will take a picture with the food plated and the crusty bread on the side.
Cast Iron Cook,
