Beef and Lamb Beer Stew Recipe

Beef and Lamb Beer Stew Notes

I recently purchased the herbs & spices book by Jill Norman from the website and was inspired to try to experiment with my new herbs from the Spice House. Got some ideas from the book what spices would go well together and it turned out pretty good.
