pub grub essentials: beef stuffed bread loaf
This recipe comes from the other side of the pond, and is served in many of the pubs in and around London. The ingredients are simple, yet come together in a wonderful comforting way. I like to serve this with some thick pub fries, or along with a hardy bowl of hot yummy soup. This is my version of a beef-stuffed bread loaf. So, you ready… let’s get into the kitchen.
