Beef Stew with Leeks
Beef Stew with Leeks or Bodino Stifado Me Praso is a Greek style stew. Though it may have many of the same ingredients of a typical American style stew, the flavors uniquely different.

Kraut Runzas
Kraut Runzas (also known as krautburgers, krautramzies, fleischkuche, bierock, or kraut pirok) is a dish I enjoyed growing up.

The key difference between the two is rather than the beef being braised in burgundy wine, it is braised in pilsner beer giving the dish its unique character. The flavors of caramelized onions and juicy, tender beer marinated beef leaves you [...]
Warm Beef-and-Potato Salad with Béarnaise Dressing

I would have never thought of having potato salad as my main dish. After having the Warm Beef-and-Potato Salad with Béarnaise Dressing, I am a believer. This dish mixes [...]
