I do not like to use a non-stick pan for this. After the meat is nicely browned add all the meat to pan and pour in the beer to get the browned burnt bits off the bottom of the pan. If you put too much meat in the pan you just steam the meat and you don’t get a nice colour. Step 3: add olive to hot pan and sear meat (in batches if you have to) to get good colour on meat.

It also keeps the meat dry (like when you sprinkle meat in some flour before searing) I also find the the spices bloom well in the oil when they are seared on the meat. Step 2: add smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper and ground ginger to meat and toss to coat spices. I always rinse under cool water and dry with paper towels.

Please know that I am always humbled that you would try one of my recipes, and I enjoy reading the reviews and seeing all the pretty photographs.Step 1: I used a combination of chunks of stewing beef and some beef short ribs. And last but certainly not least, I absolutely LOVE cats-we have two half-Siamese fur babies (cats) that allow us to live here!! A Note of Thanks~ I try to personally thank everyone who kindly makes and reviews my recipes, but sometimes I am busy, late, or may forget. Currently, a newfound passion has been so richly rewarding for me: genealogical research. Spending quality time with my grandchildren, family, and friends (and cooking holiday meals!). Gardening, decorating, sewing, music, dancing, film, and reading are also up there. One day!! Hobbies/Interests: Decorating with fresh flowers and herbs from the garden is my passion, and brings me deep joy! It's really hard to beat!! I love connecting with others who enjoy the same. as well as Alice Waters' Chez Panisse in Berkeley, and the James Beard award winning Tartine Bakery and Cafe in San Francisco.

On my bucket list is dining at Thomas Keller's establishment The French Laundry in Napa Valley, California. are: Giada At Home, Ina Garten's The Barefoot Contessa, Nigella Lawson's Nigella Bites, and Patti's Mexican Kitchen, and many more. A few other chefs I read/enjoy watching on t.v. Another top favorite is Julia Child (of course!). And I'm very lucky to have the best sous chef in the world, dddddh! One of my favorite chefs of all time is Jacques Pepin! I have several of his cookbooks, and enjoy watching his television cooking show Fast Food My Way. I hope you enjoy! Have been to culinary school with many years of cooking (mostly for my family) under my belt, so know my way around a kitchen. Many of the recipes I post here are influenced by our combined heritage or from our travels, or they are old family favorites that I want to share with you.

We've traveled extensively to many countries abroad (we lived in Germany), and have traveled and lived in several states here in the U.S.A. My husband and I share a combination of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Dutch, Swiss, Polish, Austrian, German and French heritage, and our son-in-law and daughter-in-law are both Hispanic.

Also, we have been blessed with a wonderful son-in-law and beautiful daughter-in-law, plus FIVE grandchildren: two beautiful granddaughters ages five and eight, and three sweet adorable little grandsons ages 2 months, 2 years and 3 years. Married to my sweetheart for almost forty years and we have two wonderful children who are grown and have flown the coop.
