HOW TO COOK GAISBURGER MARSCH

How To Cook Gaisburger Marsch –this dish very common to us, it is just the name we are not familiar with because Gaisburger Marsch is just a counterpart of what we call beef and vegetable stew. Although this is very German, you can make your own version of it by replacing some of the ingredients used in this recipe. Unlike other beef stews we make, cooking this dish requires beer. I know that some wine gives better taste to stews but I didn’t know that beer could also be added to stews, I was amazed when I learned about this thing. Actually the beer is used to combine with broth used for simmering and that’s is what we are going to do. I have shared with you the recipe on how to make spatzle, I am mentioning it because this stew is not complete without it. Here is how to cook Gaisburger Marsch:

Ingredients

1 pound beef (cut into cubes)

1 cup beer

4 cups beef broth (or enough amount to cover beef for simmering)

1 medium size onion (diced)

1 stalk celery

2 medium size carrots (diced)

1 pound uncooked potatoes (peeled and diced)

1 small bowl spatzle (cooked)

1 tablespoon nutmeg

Salt to taste

1 onion, (cut into rings)

Butter

1 tablespoon parlsey (chopped)

Cooking Procedure

1. In a pot, put the beef , beer, salt, diced onion, celery, carrots and broth.
2. Bring to a boil and simmer until the beef is cooked and tender.

4. In a skillet, melt butter and fry onion rings until translucent.
